In a Perfect World by Laura Kasischke
5.0
Really enjoyed this one. It got off to a slow start, but by the time I got to the second half, I couldn't put it down (hence, I finished it sneakily at my desk at work in the middle of the day...)
This book offered a terrifyingly plausible view of the near future. The characters were believable as they accepted and dealt with their circumstances as they arose. While I found myself thinking "WHY aren't you doing x, y, and x?!!" (the result of so many dystopian stories with infallible heroes), I had to admit that I would be just as clueless and trusting as the main character. That being said, if you want a fearless protagonist who uses her many years of practical experience to confidently take control and save the day, this maybe isn't the book for you.
