Qualify by Vera Nazarian
5.0
Where to start...
I started this book because I asked my fiance to pick a book from my Kindle for me to read next, and he arbitrarily picked Qualify. So I started reading. And I wan't sure about it. So I read some more. And I still wasn't sure about it.
And then next thing I know, he was having to remind me to perform daily human functions, such as eating, showering, and you know, going to work.
I can't even tell you exactly where in the story it happened, but I just got Sucked. In.
I was reading every spare minute I had, I was getting grumpy when people tried to talk to me, and I admit, at one point I even sat in the car until I was finished with a chapter because I knew I wouldn't be able to read once I walked in the house.
There really was just something about this book. The story was pretty original, the Semi-Finals were AMAZING, and even though Gwen was quite MarySue-ish and drove me crazy at first, by the time we got to the RQC, I didn't even care. I LOVED this book.
Sometimes the timing is a little crazy. We get endless details about some things, then pretty much skip over giant chunks of time, but again, this isn't something that killed the book for me because I was just so obsessed with the story and finding out what happened next.
Oh, and
I would recommend this book to anyone who is into the YA sci-fi romance genre. It's certainly not the most technical book I've ever read, but it was just SUCH a fun read! :)

Atlantis Tech is SUCH a cool idea. Being musically inclined myself, I love the whole concept of music based tech.I would recommend this book to anyone who is into the YA sci-fi romance genre. It's certainly not the most technical book I've ever read, but it was just SUCH a fun read! :)
