let me start off by saying i got the pleasure to meet Heather (the author of this book), which is when i got a free signed copy, and she was so sweet! she's such a nice person!!
unfortunetly i didnt love this book though, which i feel really bad about because heather was so great!! i feel like the book was just very amaturely written, and the plot confused me, it didnt even really pick up until towards the end, and it was just kind of a mess. the first half of the book was four stars though! the second half was two stars sadly.
again i really wanted to like this but it just wasn't it for me.
the characters, on the other hand, were so silly!! (in a great way though). so i liked that!!
it just felt like a poorly written book, which is a shame because i loved the story idea!!
anyway Heather if you see this, you probably don't remember me because my name is different, but I want you to know that I thought you were such an amazing person, this book just wasn't for me, I'm sorry!!
anyway, basically this was a cute book that was just poorly executed.
okay thats all! bye bye~

Ransom has crafted a colorful, furturistic world that feels remarkably prescient. The characters are vivid and their relationships are relatable. What really sets this science fiction dystopia apart is the meticulous detail the author, a science teacher herself, has incorporated to build the world of SciCity and its surrounding environs. It is this authenticity that makes it such a compelling read.

How much of who we are is nature vs nurture? In a not so far future, nature, nurture, and genetic enhancements help shape how one high-schooler, Calyssa Brentwood, filters her world. How do these factors influence her decisions and how she navigates in and out of her social circles? This book is a fantastic read, with a blend of real world science, and what ifs that seem totally possible. Young adults will relate to being torn between family, friends, and discovering their guiding principles. Going Green is action packed while emphasizing the importance of empathy, an open mind, and an open heart.

So I started reading this book and hated it at the beginning. I hated every single character inclouding Calyssa. I somehow managed to force myself to continue reading and I am glad I did because I really started to get into the plot, relationships, and characters. In the end, I left the book with a deep need for a sequel that I will read very soon.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone and even if you don't really like the story at the beginning keep reading cause I promise you it is gonna be worth it.
