This is a dystopian book that centers in Juliette, a girl that has a lethal touch and because of that, she's been locked in a kind of asylum for over 200 days. However, one day a guy enters her cell and everything changes. The government is called The Reestablishment and the section where she is is led by a young man named Warner. The world is so different, everything related to nature has vanished.
This is a book with a really slow beginning, but somehow manages to pick up very good at the last half of it. The last 150 pages are probably the best of the novel. In general, I think I was expecting to like this book so much more than I actually did, I even thought it was really a hyped up book.
I gave this book 3.5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. It is not bad, I liked it, but it certainly was not really amazing.
SPOILERY COMMENTS:
This is a story that was kind of predictable at times. For example, I sort of guessed that maybe Warner wants everyone to be afraid of her because he does not want anyone to touch/hurt her.
I am not so sure I like Juliette so much, I mean, I know she's been through a lot but I just do not sympathize with the idea of people who do not want to fight, who jut give up. I know her character is in constant change and she starts to develop by the end of the book, however at first I did not like that about her. Nonetheless, I really liked the character development of hers. How she was so scared and confused at first and then self-confident later. Also, that is quite noticeable in the way the book is written, the way the text is (at first there were so many crossed words and then almost none).
