The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
2.75

I’m torn between 2.75 and 3 stars. In theory, this should have been so interesting to read but I could barely get into it. In fact, I mostly listened to the audiobook on 2x speed while multitasking. I may have just DNF’d it if I wasn’t reading it for a book club. That said I don’t regret finishing it, I think that it did get more interesting the farther you go. 

Really I think that YA just isn’t for me anymore. I find myself criticizing the characters too often, and struggle to suspend my disbelief. I do think that I would have had a great time with this if I read it when I was 13 or 14 though.
