I'm giving this one a 3(1/2). It was good! And I'm a sucker for a YA dystopian. However, there were holes here and there. The biggest draw back for me was that I would have liked to spend a little more time understanding Joseph before things moved on so quickly. I felt like I didn't know him really until close to the end of the book. I'm jumping into book #2 because it kept my interest just enough! Rosa is an intriguing protagonist and I enjoyed her! All in all, a decent read :-) OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This book, this story damn!!! I'm freaking speechless. This book is awesome!!! I love the whole story, The author hooked me in the first chapter. It was a roller coaster for me, the anticipation, feeling scared and it was so realistic, I connected with all the characters. Rosa is strong, independent but not invincible, she is awesome. I connected with her. Joseph, just no words to describe him, he is amazing and patient and Awesome!!! Clara, I love her too the mama bear and optimistic, I'm really sad and yes I cried, for what? You have to read the story.And the end *sigh* I'm craving for more!!!!!This I strongly recommend to read.

Wonderful! Heart-felt! Sucks you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat!
