XVI by Julia Karr
5.0
Awww.. I really like this book.
XVI is a Dystopian noval, about a world that it all about technology and sex (basically). Where on your 16th birthday, you are marked to have sex or legal to have sex whenever with whoever. The government puts all sorts of things in these teenagers heads to make them want to have sex, like how to impress, what to wear, what to say, ect.
They have divided people/families in to tiers. Which is tier one being very poor and tier 10 being very rich. If you live in a lower tier, you have to work your way up. For the lower tiers, there is a program called FeLs. FeLs is a training program in Mars-which you stay for 2 years- is supposed to be promising for lower tier sex-teens to move up and have a good lives.
15 year old Nina is dreading the days she gets her tattoo that will mark her 16 and will make her sex-teen. She wants nothing more than to live normal and to not have sex, until she's ready. Her father died when she was born, and she is left with her mother, younger sister, and her mother's boyfriend. When her mother was stabbed and left for dead, she had the chance to tell Nina her secrets, that will change her life forever. She learns things about the FeLs and the government, and she learns the truth about Non-cons and her past. She goes on a journey to uncover the truth and to get the right information in the right hands. She also finds love and friendship.
This was a really great read. I'm glad I chose a good book. So wierd how the last book I read (Dilerum) was such the opposite. I loved all the characters. I wonder if there is a next book, I thought I had had a good ending, so maybe not. :)) loved it.
