M Hendrix did such a amazing job with this book! There is growth, empowerment, love, finding ones self, murder, thrill, suspense! Someone needs to make this into a movie and I don’t say that about most books I love because typically movies never do the book justice but I would love to see this play out. The book is based in “New America” the government is all men and women have no say or voice. Young girls are trained to be the “perfect wife” for after high school. Mostly what they are taught is how to be a woman but not self sufficient woman a woman who does as she is told. Girls once they hit puberty are kept separate from the boys even if they attend the same school they can’t be seen alone. All girls if privileged enough have to have female chaperones at all times other then in their home. Stella the main character however finds herself resisting these rules even though her father is a higher up in the community.
