Rated by Melissa Grey

3.0

In the beginning, it was difficult to keep the LARGE group of main characters in order. Way too many main characters. Then as they started to group up into couples, it was just too contrived, like there needed to be romance involved. Not a fan of romance just because you feel that a YA novel needs it. The redeeming value for the book is the concept of rating people, how lives depend upon that rating, and how that becomes the dystopian factor and can ruin lives through no fault of their own. This book could be a good conversation starter about today, and how ratings and social media affect our lives. Not my favorite book, but one that does make you think and question.... too bad it doesn't happen until way too far into the book.
