I found this book on the Beehive Book Award Nominees shelf at the library. They are usually good reads, so I grabbed a copy. One of the quotes said, "Better than The Hunger Games"; I was intrigued. The first chapter left me wondering where this might be headed. The rest of the book had me hooked! Adventure, angst, passion, grief, guilt, joy, and relief are a few words that come to mind as I reflect on the story. A great read for young adults, especially girls who like a strong lead character. Definitely worth the award nomination.
