My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this book because it reminded me so much of a futuristic Gossip Girl story. And I love Gossip Girl! I like how this story started with the end: a girl falling off the 1000th floor on the Tower. I like the mystery behind it and how we don't know who it is at the beginning.
I loved the 5 main characters that the story is told from:
Avery - was genetically made to be perfect and she hates it.
Leda - has a secret addiction.
Rylin - mother died and she has to take care of her and her little sister.
Eris - her life just falls apart throughout the story.
Watt - a genius who gets hired to spy on one of the upper level girls.
They are all so different yet they bring so much to the story. A lot of which could be spoilerific. So, there isn't a whole lot to say about them or the plot without giving anything away.
I loved every complication that was within this story: love, betrayal, backstabbing, secrets, and all those typical drama you would get in the everyday life. You really just gotta go in blind with this one. And I hope you liked it as much as I did! :)

I'm totally rooting for Rylin and Cord. They're my favorite. Avery and Atlas, still way too weird and totally messed up for my liking but that makes a story.
I wonder if Leda will change her threats/feelings about Eris and their friends after she finds out the truth. I'm also really heartbroken for Mariel... so sad :(

Update: When I stumbled upon this book in Target, I loved the cover and its writing. Now, that I have considered all the thing, I’m sad that the book is not as great as I thought it was. I’m annoyed I spent so much time obsessing over this book when it was pretty problematic. This book had a lot of potential. It had much representation & for me it was one of the few times I saw a Asian character in a book after years of nonexistent diversity. But she was just given a bland romance plot. I’m still really sad they killed off Eris, she was a really good character.
