Author:Alexandra Bracken
Rating:4.5 stars
Recommend to?:Anyone in need of a kickbutt girl role model :]

My Review: I picked this book up without knowing what it was about. I just saw everyone reading it and enjoying it and i just had to have it!

*Speechless* This is an amazing world that Alexandra Bracken has created. I loved this book from the get go even though it was a bit slow to begin with. A perfect dystopian to lose yourself in.

The ending was terrible, but the rest of the book was awesome! Okay the ending wasn't terrible, I just wasn't overly ecstatic about Ruby's terrible decision. ...more
