Teen Fiction - Borrowed

I read this because it looked like interesting teen fiction. Where i work in the Library i often see some new teen fiction books and some of them can be quite good.  This one only took me a few hours to read - as with teen fiction they are very easy to read and quite entertaining.

This book was an interesting subject on in future what could happen to society. I recently became interested in this topic after reading a series called Ugly's which is about a future society.  This one i wanted to see if it was on par with that series, although broached slightly different areas.

This book didn't disappoint, although it was written for teenagers it had an interesting topic and touched upon some subjects that a teen could really relate to. What happens when you love two boys at once? Issues of Rebellion, and wanting to break away from the norm.  The style of writing was easy to read, flowed nicely and was quite gripping all the way through.

It was also nice to see that this book could end in one or two different ways and you weren't quite sure which direction the author would pick. The ending was nice but also left quite open for a sequel if needed.

Overall i quite enjoyed this book, it was one of the better teen books i have read recently and would properly recommend it to young girls of a similar age to read.
