Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman

5.0

“I used to comfort myself with the belief that it was only certain individuals and their peculiar notions that spoilt things for the rest of us. But how many individuals does it take before it's not the individuals who are prejudiced but society itself?”

I really loved Noughts & Crosses. Its the story of Callum and Sephy in love in an alternative society where prejudices and racism is reversed, and the Crosses are the ruling class and the Noughts are the lower class. I really loved the characters and the development of the romance between Callum and Sephy and the way they overcame the challenges they faced. Noughts and Crosses was very well written which kept me captivated from start to finish, especially as it switched between Sephy's and Callum's POVs.
The ending was heartbreaking and my heart goes out to Sephy and Callum. It was a great read and I would definitely recommend. I already have the second book on kindle, so hopefully I will be reading it soon!
