The Stranded by Sarah Daniels
4.0

A dystopian novel on a cruise ship? Yes please!

Short Synopsis:
The Arcadia has been floating for forty years. The residents aren’t allowed on land for fear that they carry a virus that hasn’t existed for decades. Ester is training to be a medic to one day leave the ship, but then gets caught up in her sisters secrets.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one! The characters were well developed. The twists were great. It has everything you want in a dystopian YA novel - corrupt government, brave heroine, drama, rebellion, relatable social issues and action. So much action.

It’s like Black Mirror meets The Hunger Games. And now I have to impatiently wait to read the conclusion of this duology.
