Eve by Anna Carey

2.0

Eve" is part romance, part dystopia, with the budding romance between Eve and Caleb sharing equal stage with the disturbing revelations about their society. Reading "Eve," it’s hard not to think of some of the other recent heroines in dystopia -- Katniss of "The Hunger Games" trilogy or Tris from "Divergent" -- but unlike these feisty, strong girls, Eve ... well, she’s a bit of a drip. One character tells Eve she’s got plenty of book smarts, but no street smarts, and it’s true. Eve mostly seems along for the ride, relying on the sharper wits of her companions, and making some shockingly stupid decisions. It was hard for me to root for her.
