Eve by Anna Carey
3.0
This was just so so for me. 2 1/2 stars rounded up to 3. I liked it, but I felt like the author had a great opportunity and then punted. Perhaps I've just read one dystopian novel too many, but it seemed like this was The Handmaid's Tale (even though I haven't read it) meets Peter Pan (Wendy and the Lost Boys).
I listened to this on my MP3 player while doing laundry. While the narrator did a good job, the main character Eve came off as selfish, whiny and at times pathetic. I just couldn't care about her.
I also felt like the author revealed plots too quickly. I think that there are things she could have prolonged for a bigger effect, like the purpose of the schools, and especially the romance.
I will probably read the next book in the series, but it's not like waiting on the holds list at the library is any great hardship.
