The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau

4.0

A fun read with some fascinating backstory and intriguing and suspenseful plot. I'll admit upfront that there are many things I think this story could have done better - namely character development, further explanation of the world, and several plot lines - but as I'm forever a fan of dystopian novels, I enjoyed this more than I maybe should have, haha. There's nothing ground-breaking or differing much from your generic dystopian, but I read the story in one night, and am definitely open to reading the rest of the books in the series if I come across them (this one was loaned to me).
