I wanted to enjoy this book slightly more than I did. It drew me in and was un-put-down-able, but more in the way a sketchy reality TV show is. The characters were vibrant and life-like, and while there were definitely some I rooted for, there were some that I was... less enamoured with, which is still strong characterization. I was hoping to find it a little less romance-y, but really, no major compalints. I think that it was simply not quite to my personal tastes.

Book 153 towards my goal of 290! 4/5 stars for this YA scifi set in the future. Set in future New York City, people's "rank" is determined by which floor of this building they live on. This one is such a tough one to review because I don't want to give anything away! I love this cover. A full cast of main characters. Some likeable, some not. Some morally grey.....some even more morally grey lol I'll read anything Katharine McGee writes. Highly recommend. There are a few trigger warnings for this one.

A dramatic, glittery, and dark story about 5 17-ish unrelated teens. I read this book over the course of 16 days, which is probably my record. I did not like it, it was a bit too dramatic at times.
