These are two separate works of YA dystopian fiction. Each of them unique in their own right but without giving away details of either one (and because I read them back to back) I am reviewing them together. They each follow the predictable formula of dystopian YA with a controlling society telling a young (girl in both of these) who they can be or what their futures will entail and the process they go through of opening their eyes to the truth. Each have a unique USA which has both a pretend world which everyone accepts and an underground where there is more danger but more freedom. I love this formula so I am in no way dissing either of these books. I will be looking forward to sequels for both of them.
Your closest friend betrays you resulting in the separation of you from your beloved mother and ripping you from your naive view of the world you live in. The path to find her is full of heartache, mis-communication and terrifying adventure. Within these folds, love is somehow rekindled and loyalty in all its facets is explored and affirmed.
Book 19
Love is the disease delirium which plagues modern USA. Fortunately, there is a cure which works (almost) without fail. The result is a nice, placid, vanilla life free of the trappings of strong emotions.
But what if you like the way the ocean feels when you swim through it or the way your first kiss feels?
Book 20
