Brief synopsis (no spoilers):
The world is overpopulated, so there are many laws in place to enforce the Rule of One: one child per household. Ava is the daughter of the highest-ranking member of the medical wing of the Rule of One initiative, Darren. But Ava has a secret: she and Mira are twins, and they are each living half a life, to avoid detection.
Category:
YA Fiction, maybe sci-fi
Why I chose this book:
Amazon First
My personal opinion:
The story was superb! I like the premise, the action was believable, the characters were credible. I liked just about everything about it, except for the f-word stuck right in the middle. I guess I do recommend it, because the rest of it is really good.
Warnings
Language: One f-word, repeated once
Violence: Some, but not frequent
"Adult" situations: None
Death: Yes, including major character(s)
Movie rating equivalent:
PG-16. I won't let my 13-year olds read it, but it's not R
Protagonist description:
Ava and Mira are just doing their best to live their life
Point of view of story:
Third person, but changing focus
Book length:
Medium-long
