I am a sucker for YA dystopian novels. This has a Hunger Games/Divergent vibe, but it is a very unique idea for a dystopian future. I think the idea that numbers determine your fate and your stance in society is very similar to the class situation we live in now - more money (numbers) means a higher class.

I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. I wish I had heard about this sooner, but better late than never!

Sooo much potential but the execution couldn’t have been more disappointing :,) The characters were annoying and flat, the storyline was boring and the relationship with the love interest lacked any sort of tension or build up. Only finished it because it was a quick read lmao, 1/5 stars max.

Great story! Decent world building. The characters has some depth. Nothing to cheesy and not ever path was the one you'd expect. In the end it's a YA romance, but worth the time to read it.
