This book was received from the Author, and Publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own

Keystone by Katie Delahanty is a Young Adult Dystopian, and it involves a world of everyone wanting to have the highest rankings as an ‘Influencer.’ Unfortunately, if you don’t keep up with your rankings or if you do something to have your rankings tank, then you may end up being Unrankable.
The main protagonist , Ella Karman, has been safely hidden from that world until her parents release her into it.
Realizing she trust anyone when it comes to rankings, not even her closest friend, Deena.
Deena ends up betraying Ella, and she has no one to turn to in the book until someone approaches her about a secret school. She’s invited to join the secret school called Keystone, which teaches thieves otherwise known as ‘Disconnects’ (Definition: ones that don’t want to be part of Rankings and want to preserve history) to steal everything analog and original history item.
This way, they can protect these items in a Vault, instead of having them changed like the Influencers keep doing out in their world.
Ella is going to learn how to become one of those thieves, and she’s forced to partner up with the annoying but sexy Garrett Alexandar. Garrett was a mysterious character in the book, and I enjoyed the dialogue between Ella and Garrett.
Garrett ‘s secretive agenda for wanting Ella as a partner adds to the storyline.
I enjoyed the concept of a school teaching about stealing original history items to preserve them in a world of a digital age where everything is about who has the highest-ranking and fake people.

A telltale reminder of what is happening within today’s world. Where ranking has become being high priority and who has the most likes and friends on the Internet.
There is so much I enjoyed about this story and how Katie Delahanty kept me turning the pages, but I don’t want to give anything away. If you enjoy Young Adult Dystopian books, then I recommend this book. It’s different, which is always a plus for me.
The one thing that bothered me was the ending since it felt a little rushed.
I needed some answers, and I’m crossing my fingers; there are more books after this one.
