I really enjoyed it until the end. Think the pace was a bit too quick. Otherwise a good read.

I think I definitely preferred Nerve but this was still a super interesting read about gene modifications and where the line should be drawn as far as creating 'cures' to different illnesses and disorders.

I enjoyed this book a lot more than 'Nerve' and was able to get through it much much quicker as well.
I was a little bit disappointed with the ending, it left a few questions unanswered.
And there was a big reveal that I think was supposed to be shocking, but I'd guessed it halfway through the book.
Otherwise it was a really good book and an interesting concept!

I must start off by explaining that I struggled what to award this book between a four star and three star, that is because my assumption of what would happen in this book turned out to be correct and that spoilt it for me as I already knew! Secondly, I had high expectations after reading and loving Nerve by this author but personally this was no where near as good as Nerve and I felt let down. Lastly, it took me a while to get into this book and I found from chapter 11 on wards it did pick up but dragged until it got going good!
HOWEVER, aside from all that it is a good story! One the author has obviously had to research a lot into. Charisma is written well, contains short chapters and is the ideal young adult book. It is meant to be classed as a thriller but personally it did not feel like a thriller to me. I wanted to enjoy this book more than I did but this is MY honest review of the book and others may love it!

I tried so hard to finish this book but I lost it half way through. It's really not for me. I found it was incredibly slow, none of the characters were at all memorable and the overall plot was lacking something. I wasn't a fan of the writing much either, it didn't grip me as much as I'd hoped. I do think the idea of the story is good, but maybe if it was executed in a more exciting way, I would have enjoyed it more.
Very disappointed. I was really looking forward to this one as well.
Give it a try if this intrigues you, but it just wasn't my cup of tea,
