Review

So I started this book after seeing on Darren's instagram that he was filming for the movie. I didn't really know what to expect but I ended up really liking this series. It was a new concept with great character development. 

The story starts with really showing how society works in the story. The whole premise of the story is that love is a disease that must be removed once each teen turns 18 in order to prevent them from becoming infected. The society makes sure that prior to the procedure schools are segregated into male and female groups to limit exposure to "love". Children are taught very early on to shy away from any behavior of affection even with from their own family. 

When the book starts Lena is very much a good girl trying to fit in with society. She is worried about where she will be placed based on her exam (placement exams determine your husband, job, how many children you will have and many other important aspects of your life)

During her interview portion of her exam (which isn't exactly going well) the building is broken into by the resistance group interrupting all testing. And now this is where the story gets really interesting because we meet Alex!! Who I fell in love with almost immediately. 

Although I will say there is another love interest I don't want to give anything away! I would really recommend reading this series as the characters were likable and really grew throughout the story. The story also had a new concept to it which is always nice as sometimes I feel like I keep reading the same story over and over again.
