A review by novelgoddess
XVI by Julia Karr
4.0
I liked the dystopian angle of the story...media as government, but am thinking the whole sex-teen angle was a bit cliched.
But I did like the juxtaposition of Media/Government spinning the whole becoming "sex-teen" as a positive by buy putting out magazines and advertising glorifying being legal and ready for sex versus staying a virgin and signing up for FeLs (Female Liason) training in hopes of escaping the lower tiers of their society.
Overall I liked it and it did give me something to think about...which makes for a good book in my opinion.
