Summary:
Davy starts out on top of the world. She is homecoming queen, a musical prodigy, and on her way to Julliard. Her boyfriend is hot and everything is coming up roses, until her genetic testing comes back and she is found to have to have the Homicidal Tendency Syndrome. Now she has been uninvited from her private school and forced to attend a new school and is segregated from all of the regular kids. Then she is sent to this mysterious training facility and she doesn't exactly know what to do or why she is there.
My thoughts:
I wanted to love this book. I love Sophie Jordan. She is on e of the few author's that has personally been involved with my students and helped me out with a project I completed on young adult literature. That doesn't just happen all of the time. So, I was biased going into this novel. The premise of the book sounded interesting and dystopians are my favorite, so I jumped in. Unfortunately, I never built that special bond with Davy. I actually found that I liked Sean more than anything. He is much more of a hero to me than Davy is. Also, I found that Davy was a little slow on the uptake. For someone that was on top of the world with everything and in a prestigious school, I just figured she would pick up on things quickly. She doesn't. It's almost to the point where I wanted someone to bop her over the head. Overall, I enjoyed the plot in spite of the fact that I wasn't really interested in Davy.
