A review by carinamiya
Graduation Day by Joelle Charbonneau
2.5
2.5
Where to start...? I was bored for the majority of this book, it was just Cia running around and wondering if she can trust someone. I mixed all the random side characters up so much because they were barely developed. I know this is very 2010s dystopian, but also why is this girl so perfect, knows so much, and is so important?? Like this random colony girl got an internship with the president, then the President + Barnes want her to be their ultimate test to get rid of the Testing or not? Also why did these 2 important, intelligent adults make a bet that hinges on a little 16 year old girl? What is stopping the President from not upholding her end of the bargain when Barnes dies? Why do we care about Tomas he annoyed me the entire time. He has no personality, just sketchy or sad.
I gave this 2.5 because despite all the flaws, I was still intrigued and desperately wanted to know what was going to happen. It was very interesting overall, and a quick series to read.
