It particularly annoyed me that I never new what Aleksey was on, as it was clearly said he was taking something. Then there’s talk about genetically engineered monsters but I never got to hear about any other than her dog. Why it seemed, at times, that not being a virgin could save Lila from being recruited while at others it struck me as a matter of entirely her preference, as she wanted her first time to be consensual. How Starville did not have running water or electricity but they could make pills and gels to numb feeling in sensitive parts during rape. The chapters were interspersed with quotes from leaders and other important people of the new system and those I found interesting because they sort of brought logic to the madness.īut I did not really get the rest of the world.

So it was interesting to me how the government justified actions such as rape, for instance, as well as the visitants occupation, not to mention the characters. I believe I have said before that I read books so I can get immersed in a new world. Sadly, I felt less satisfied by the experience as it turned out to be more an erotic romance than a dystopia and I was not much of a fan of that. I chose this book because the few reviews I read were very encouraging. When mysterious Aleksey shows up, her inner conflicts only increase. In a surprising turn of events, Lila is faced with protecting her family, while her dilemma gnaws at her. Knowing her future, 18 year old Lila desperately wants to lose her virginity by having consensual sex. The worst things are legal, including rape. In a dystopian future, North America is at war.
