Eve by Anna Carey
3.0
An amazing book that really dives into a possible image of our future. I really loved the characters. The book is really fast paced (sometimes, too fast). I really love how the story jumps right into the big plot of the book. The ending was sad, but there is a second book coming out and so, hopefully the ending will make more sense to me once I read the second book "Once".
Re-Read Review
So, the book is still good. The pacing is fast and doesn't allow for a boring moment, which is awesome. But the concept of the book isn't new - it's something that I've read before. And one of my pet peeves is this "insta-love" that happens in a lot of book, and it sort of happens here. Eve goes from completely terrified of men/boys to falling in love with Caleb. I understand her curiosity towards the opposite sex and how she might be drawn to him in more of a "what-they've-taught-us-at-the-school-is-wrong" sort of way, but to fall in love with him so fast felt weird. Maybe it was lust and not love?
But I loved the secondary characters, like the boys at the dugout. They reminded me of the Lost Boys in Peter Pan and I loved how Eve was teaching them to read and write (storytelling was Wendy's skill).
Anyway, the purpose of this reread is so I can remind myself what happens so I can finally read Once and Rise since I've had them on my shelf since they got released.
I'm curious to see where this trilogy goes and if the characters develop and grow.
