After waiting for months for my turn at the library I can say this is not at all what I thought this book was going to be about! I was hesitant after the seemingly mild first half, but boy did the second half kick this story into A+ tier. I loved all of the twists and I'm so impressed that the author was able to add so much depth to this story. In doing that the twists that could have been basic felt more like a home run. I cannot properly describe how thrilled and gagged I was with this story!

This book throws the unexpected at a person. It takes eugenics, an aspect of the world past, and likely present, which Americans like to pretend didn’t happen in the USA, and puts it in your face from the perspective of kids. I was surprised multiple times in this book.
