She begins to fall in love with him, ad her who world begins to get flipped upside down!
I absolutely love this book and I highly recommend it. It will really pull you in because it keeps you guessing the entire time. Ally Condie did an amazing job on this series. I am glad that I was able to share this book with you guys!
I have never heard of this series and this sounds very intriguing! I have never been a major fan or stories taking place in the future, but this has an interesting concept. I'm sorry you had to wait for the rest of the series to come out! I could only imagine the excitement you had when the second one came out.
ReplyDeleteWhen you said "uncluttered" I literally said, "huh?". I can't imagine there only being 100 songs. I have nearly 60 songs in one playlist! The songs better be well-made and worth it! Also, I wonder how long it will take for us to assign matches to people. Obviously that exists in some cultures, but I won't be surprised when our future makes the decision to breed the fittest to make a superior population. I am definitely considering this book! It's a story that may be more realistic than what we think.
