True Calling by Siobhan Davis
4.0
On the premise alone this doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy. The Bachelor in space? And we've all seen quite a few of these YAs rolled out that are supposed to be some kind of dystopian but just end up being a romance with the only "dystopian" elements being that they're forced to have their hair and make up done, wear pretty dresses and endure a love triangle. The horror!
However. I liked this book. Davis somehow made me forget the dodgy premise and just enjoy the characters and the world and even get quite involved with the teen romance drama. It properly sucked me in and the read went by so fast. I shocked even myself!
So, I guess what I'm saying is, if you're like me and attracted to the pretty YA covers but a little jaded by the fact they're normally pants, this one might just restore your faith that actually can judge a book by its cover.
4 stars.
