“Don’t think. Just make the jump.”
The Jump follows a group of teenagers attempting to solve a digital scavenger hunt for the to earn power and join an elite vigilante group known as the Order. But they may find out their in over their heads and things are not as they seem as they work against a rival team and the outside forces working against them.
This book was decent. I enjoyed reading it but it wasn’t something I loved. I found it to be really repetitive at times and some of the character motivations were a little fuzzy. What I did love was the diverse cast of characters in this book. I especially loved reading from Han’s point of view because he’s non-verbal and it was great to see that representation. I also liked that it painted a very realistic picture of racism and corrupt corporations that are gentrifying areas populated by minorities. It tried to touch on many serious topics, but the stakes never felt that high to me. Overall, it was entertaining to read and I really enjoyed the diversity!
Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for an ARC of this book!
