Lucky Few by Kathryn Ormsbee
4.0
I kind of want to give this book three stars, because I couldn't remember some of the characters' names only a week later, but at the same time, I sped through Lucky Few, which I only do with books I like a lot.
The interesting part about the story, is that each time Stevie and Sanger help Max fake a death, the fake-death experience always ends up being a little closer to death than expected. This leads Stevie to question what the real reasoning behind Max's death plan is.
The whole time I was reading Lucky Few, part of me wanted to be okay with Max's fake-death plan, but another part of me wasn't okay with it. But, I think that was kind of the intention of Kathryn Ormsbee.
One of the main reasons I liked Lucky Few was because of some of the messages it got across. A lot of these messages were about stereotyping people. Ex: stereotyping kids who are homeschooled, stereotyping diabetics, stereotyping lesbians.
I really like books that have meaningful messages in them :) it's always nice.
