Beta by Rachel Cohn
2.0
I think that Beta does the best it can to immerse the reader given the protagonist's emotional differences from other characters in the story. I struggled to relate to her, but in some ways this was okay because I'm not truly SUPPOSED to relate to her. However, the reading process is even more hindered with a cast of (intentionally) unlikeable characters Minus the two sisters- they're cool.
It poses an interesting dystopian society that can interest readers. It's biggest strength is in its revelatory moments as the protagonist learns more about the world she's emerged into and her place within it. There are some unnecessary and/or predictable twists, but overall the read was quick and moderately enjoyable.
