When We Wake by Karen Healey

4.0

A great science-fiction novel that examines the way we deal with--and sometimes ignore--the big issues around us. I have to admit, it was great reading a YA sci-fi that wasn't a dystopian. Healey did a great job creating a future that feels truly possible--right down to the way humanity tends to exploit those less fortunate around us. Though this may sound like the future is bleak for humanity, the book is filled with great characters who are eager to make change happen, even at great cost.

Thrilling and thought-provoking, WHEN WE WAKE is a poignant stand-alone novel full of great details about the future including technology, slang and fashion. A great pick for fans of Beth Revis' ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.
