I'm counting down the days until the official book release comes. I don't often read books for fun except for physical therapy textbooks or journal articles, or quality books like Harry Potter, but this one I wanted to see the rest of the book (I am so fortunate to get my hands on the chapter sampler). Right away on the first page, there were so many intriguing information that kept me turning the pages. People are living far longer than the current period. There is snazzy technology described throughout the story that made me go, "Wow, wish I could play around with those!" It's set in LA, which is where I live, so that makes me happy! And the stark contrast between Prime Destinations and where Callie lives. I felt the excitement / nervousness for Callie and her allies, because they desperately need help and protection. Callie's care for her brother Tyler, made me think about the "Graves of the Fireflies" -- an amazing film by Hayao Miyazaki, where the older brother desperately tries to take care of his little sister who became very ill during World War II. I really hope Tyler makes it!

Callie's physical transformation at Prime Destinations is amazing. I kept looking at the front cover, too, because the two different colors of her eyes are so intriguing. But more than what happens physically to Callie, I can't wait to find out how this young girl's emotions and psyche change with a life-changing experience she's about to go through. Like the Hunger Games series, this is a dystopian novel but I feel like it offers something even more. I'm already a HUGE fan!
