First Line: "The night before junior year--I was sixteen, barely--Gable Arsley said he wanted to sleep with me."
About: Many years in the future, chocolate and caffeine are banned, streets are filled with violence and water is nearly nonexistent. Luckily, Anya is able to care for her brother and sister because of their family connections to a wealthy chocolate mob. Things begin to change this year when a new D.A. arrives in town with plans on crushing the mobs. Complications include his son, who Anya finds extremely appealing. Filled with tainted chocolate and unsavory characters, Anya finds herself being pulled in many different directions.
My Thoughts: Exciting and interesting, Anya's world in one where society spends most of its time worrying about losing resources than trying to figure out how to stop the downfall. Anya and her friends are appealing characters and readers will get pulled into her life and her story.
Highlights: Edgy, unusual, thoughtful
Readalikes: Try "Across the Universe" by Beth Revis, "Matched" by Ally Condie, and "Bumped" by Megan McCafferty.
