Total guilty pleasure. The story follows five teens 100 years in the future. Thing future Laguna Beach, with the added element of the story beginning with someone falling off the tower. Couldn't put it down. Be warned that there is a sequel. Didn't know that when I started.

It's understandable why my students would enjoy this novel. Each character has their own secrets, desires, and messed up lives. Each chapter rotates perspectives and gives the reader just enough info to keep the suspense while simultaneously allowing the reader to completely immerse themselves. I'm not a huge fan of YA lit, but I read it for my students. Normally, I wouldn't read the other two novels, but my students will want me to so we can discuss the goings on.

This book was intense, page turning fun. It is everything you want a SciFi novel to be - an easy read, a well built and fascinating world, compelling characters and a bonus mystery thrown in. It combines all the best aspects of a WB show (or CW, depending on your age) with a solid splash of sci-fi.

I didn't even really finish this one. Got close to the end and gave up because I realized I just didn't care about any of these characters.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ My rating: 4.5 / 5
I burnt through The Thousandth Floor as soon as I bought it. SO that was fun. No sleep for Coco. I didn’t have high expectations, which is probably why this book surprised me so much. Set in a dystopian future in which humanity is spread across the world in skyscraper conglomerates, this movie presents a bleak future in which technology is in the very air we breathe. New York is contained in a 1000 story high skyscraper, and the higher you are, the better the surrounding facilities and your social status get. The story revolves around the girl who lives on floor 1000, the epitome of wealth and high class, and the physical representation of the convergence between unchecked power and technology, along with four other people whose lives get unwillingly intertwined. Mix that with the social division and plausible use of technology in this book and, you guessed it: I love it!
“How strange that there were millions of people below her at this very moment, eating, sleeping, dreaming, touching. She blinked, feeling suddenly and acutely alone.“

Too many characters in my opinion. Felt a little all over the place. But is an interesting premise.
