I found this book on Twitter and knew it was my type of book so I ordered it right away.
In this dystopian world, when someone gets an illness, they can have it transferred to a criminal. Criminals are given sentences of illnesses based on the severity of the crime. The bigger the crime, the more serious the illness they are given.
When we first meet Talia, the daughter of a Prime Ministerial candidate she is suffering from a cold and wants nothing more than to get rid of it. She is embarrassed to be seen coughing and wiping her nose, and her father needs to stay far away from her so he doesn't appear weak. While at the hospital, Talia is confronted by a mad man and she risks her own life to help a young girl.
That action throws Talia into a world in which she knew nothing about. The more she learns about this young girl and her family, the more she starts questioning everything she has ever believed in. Her father doesn't understand what she is thinking, and tries to get her to see things his way. But Talia does everything in her power to make him see reason.
This book was amazing! Fast paced, interesting and exciting. Talia is a great character- strong, believable and convincing. My only issue with this book was that the print was so small that it was hard to read. But maybe that is just my age!
Anybody who loves reading dystopian novels will love this book.
