5.0

Wow wow wow. This book was an instant 5 stars for me. From the moment I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. It took me two days to finish. I love dystopian reads and this read easily worked its way to the top. 

Maya (18, FMC) is genetically matched to two “perfect partners” to strengthen the elementals, as are all the other girls. Boys and girls are kept separate until they get matched. She has a good head on her shoulders but is curious about the world around her. 

There are lots of fun little twists and turns, including romantic, familial, and political. Do not sleep on this instant favorite. This book gave me the same vibes as: divergent, uglies, the last air bender. I can’t wait for the next one in the series!!
