Half Lives by Sara Grant

1.0

DNFing on page 47, this is unbearable. It's such a mess, I struggled to even understand what was happening in the weird futuristic cult chapters, let alone who the characters were. There were too many characters, too much info dumping and too much "teen" slang with secondary meaning that was so poorly explained just for added confusion. Even though Icie's chapters were better, she was just "not like other girls," was a blonde, blue-eyed white girl wearing dreads (which I think everyone in the future world had except for the one chick who's hair was too curly for them????????? I'm speechless.) and also was just... not particularly kind. The mixed Asian girl being called "exotic" was the last straw for me, I can't wait to never think about this book again.
