This is a very fluffy, silly book that I couldn't help enjoying. I thought it was going to be a retelling of Cinderella, and it is, sort of, but mostly it's a retelling of The Bachelor, in a far future setting.

I wrote a long review of this book on the blog I just started. MY GOD I've become one of those people.
Anywho.
Popsugar 2016 Reading Challenge category: a dystopian novel.
I picked this book because I don't like dystopias, and this seemed like the mildest kind I could find. Except for the terrifying-yet-unacknowledged misogyny of this world, I was more or less right.
Basically, it all adds up to this: I'm pretty sure the author read The Hunger Games trilogy and said "Good books - but what if it wer ...more

Utter and complete brain candy YA romance, but enjoyable for what it is.
Great YA, stealing bits from the Hunger Games and the Bachelor. Otherwise it would be more stars.
