The Girl Who Dared to Think by Bella Forrest
4.0
In a world where you’re ranked from 1-10 on how productive and positive you are, how helpful this makes to society, thinking about how unfair the system is a sure way to get a low score.
Liana is from a family of 10’s, but so far has been struggling to keep up. While on duty, she watches as a 1 miraculously turns into a 10 and is caught up in the underworld of the tower, where she finds it’s not only her that’s figured out the tower isn’t quite what it seems. Meanwhile, The AI who controls it all, Scipico, is becoming more and more dangerous.
The characters are brilliant, complex and loveable, and the pacing keeps you interested while not going too fast that it gets confusing. Bella sets the scene of the tower so well and slowly reveals its backstory as well.
Definitely much better than your average dystopian YA novel.
