Dying for a Living by Kory M. Shrum

2.0

I was interested by the story outline for this but didn't realise it was a YA novel, so ended up being disappointed. The dialogue was constantly immature, and the motives and actions of Jesse, the main character, were confusing and inconsistent. I didn't think it flowed well or even made a lot of sense at times and I definitely didn't identify with any of the characters. Granted, I'm definitely not the target audience for the book but I wish that YA novels in general had more depth and less sassy-ness. The story idea of a mutation in humanity that allows some people to regenerate after dying and take the place of those without this mutation by dying on their behalf was original and interesting enough to keep me reading until the end, but I won't be reading the rest of the series.
