WHITHER WAS AWESOME. The cover/description made it seem boring but once I started it I could not put it down. I HATED LINDEN SO MUCH, ESPECIALLY DURING ALL THE CECILY PARTS. Dude, she is 13! Her stockholming/baby factory ways stressed me out so much. The only person I hated more was his dad, obviously. BUT JENNA WAS SO GREAT. And so were Rhine and Gabriel.
SO GLAD YOU HATED LINDEN TOO. Ugh, I was sort of unsure as to how the book wanted me to feel about him, but I wanted to slap the crap out of Rhine whenever she was nicer to him. NO, HE IS THE WORST. Like when he ACTUALLY ASKED her why she wanted to become a bride and was just incredibly ignorant toward what was really gone on? I feel like I was supposed to pity him then but it just made me dislike him all the more.
SHOULD HAVE STARTED OUT WITH THIS TBH, PUTTING IT ON HOLD AT THE LIBRARY
Although these dystopian names, lol. Rhine Ellery? it sounds like a French winery.
The ~heterochromia reminds me of Delirium by Lauren Oliver - have you read that? It's like ... the Giver for somewhat older teens, basically. (They say "fuck!" Twice, I think!) Crossed with like, the Uglies series, which I never actually read past the first installment of. Anyway, it was good! I really liked the protagonist and her BFF.
WHAT YA BOOKS HAVE TAUGHT ME ABOUT THE FUTURE - EVERYONE HAS TERRIBLE NAMES, APPARENTLY.
I did read Delirium! I really liked it until the end when it made me want to THROW MY KINDLE ACROSS THE ROOM. and then I read the book description for the second book and SURPRISE, I PREDICTED THE PLOT FOR NUMBER TWO THE SECOND I FINISHED NUMBER ONE. I'm totally reading it, though.
I thought it was a little too slow-paced for much of the first half, but kept reading it because 1. I loved all the characters, and 2. the quotes from pamphlets, textbooks, etc. that opened each chapter!!!! Those were SO WEIRD AND CREEPY.
Have you read Lauren Oliver's other book, Before I Fall?
Yes, the quotes were such a nice touch! I loved the entire premise but the ending is so UGHHHHH especially since I feel like it's so obvious how the plot is going to go from there.
I haven't but I have it on my kindle! Have you read it? Is it any good?
I love "You and I" and I have cried while listening to it by myself in my car and I just put a remix of it on a mix CD for my cousin and his husband because they're getting married this week and I also love the video.

PS. Jeremy is somewhat hot in person and has this bad boy persona, actually similar to Lip. Guuurl, if I was single.
CRYING REAL TEARS KENDAR.
