If no one here knows, try the Goodreads group called "What's the Name of That Book?": https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
I don't know the one you're talking about, but it sounds VERY similar to a rhetorical novel that was used as a textbook in one of my college classes. It involves a society where you are born knowing your "death date" and people are color-coded based on how long they have to live. The goal of the society is Unity in Death, so you would choose a mate with a similar death date rather than someone physically attractive or intellectually stimulating. It is also an eye-opening story about "truth" and conspiracy. I have read it many times & LOVE IT! It is called "Lucifer State" by Trevor Melia and Nova Ryder.
That doesnt sound like the one, but it sounds really cool. I will have to put that one on my reading list. Thanks for the recommendation!
I just noticed you have a lot of Dr. Seuss books on your favorites list. My fave Dr. Seuss book is The Sneetches :) I think it teaches a wonderful story about equality and acceptance
