4.0

I wasn't crazy about this book. It had a really interesting concept but I didn't really connect with any of the characters.

The idea that genetically modified humans could be pets was what lured me in but I never felt the sparkle I need to to really enjoy this book. While not really annoying I didn't really like Ella as a character and never really connected with her.

I found the Congressman and most of the other males to be creepy in this novel. They seemed to think that the girls were just sex dolls.

I was also surprised that all the girls were only 5ft tall. As a short person I usually seem pretty/beautiful girls being portrayed as quite tall so it was nice to see an MC that was so short.

I was happy at the mention of Canada and the fact that we didn't accept that humans could be kept as pets. I was proud of that.

I'm really curious to see what will happen in the next book

Edit:

I liked this book. The concept of a human pet was really interesting and I liked this better than the last time I read this.

I liked Ella. She was very naive but also strong in her own way. It was like seeing the world through a child's/pet's eyes.

I found the congressman creepy. I kept getting pedophile vibes off of him. I mean Ella was only 16 and the same size as his daughter!

I really liked Ruby. She was a smart and kind girl. I really hope to see more of her in the next book.

I don't know how to feel about Penn. He was a little bit all over the place.

I had mix feelings about the mother and the older daughter. Mostly I didn't really like them much.

I love that Canada was mentioned and that we didn't allow the disgusting law of humans as pets!
