Firstlife by Gena Showalter
1.0

To be fair, I’m clearly not the ideal demographic for this book but there is some awesome teen fiction out there - Hunger Games, the Divergent series, the Gone series, The Maze Runner etc.

With apologies to the author, this is truly awful. I would give this half a star if I could. I got to the end by sheer masochistic stubbornness.

The characters were bad, the plot was weak, the writing style was disjointed and the dialogue was cringeworthy.

So books 2 and 3 in the series? Not a chance. I’d rather pull my fingernails off.
