Designed is easy to read, uses simple language and will be easy for younger teen readers to enjoy and process.

I did find it a little simplistic and young, thats a me problem though as the book is YA. That aside I did find it a quick, easy and engaging read.

This was so good!!! I really enjoyed the whole
world building and character development.
It keeps you guessing from the very beginning.
It was an incredible take on the future, sickness,
AI's, and the human condition. Does love come to
everyone?? Is it nature versus nurture?? Or maybe
it's just uniquely something yours. I also enjoyed
this author's take on a future that's definitely still
the same in some ways, but unique on its own and
slightly different. Can't wait for next book!!

The perfect young adult dystopian thriller. Something along the lines of a Covid virus, this time it’s caused by a mosquito, wiped out young and old people. What’s left are those who live in the cities and run their every day lives, and those who live behind the walls of the army base. The children who live there think nothing of it as they go to school, the doctor and live with their families. But there are so many secrets. Mireya is determined to find out what’s going on. This is a book that’s truly for everybody, young teens on up, to appreciate the excitement and thrill as Mireya is determined to answer her questions. I was happy to receive a copy from the author through NetGalley, and have written my review honestly without bias.

Amy Patrick is back with another kickass story! Amy has created a thrilling sci-fi world filled with amazing characters and an impeccable world! I devoured this book so fast that I was able to finish it during my lunch hour! Everyone needs to check this book out cause I will not be the only one having to deal with that ending! 🤣🤣

This was fantastic from the concept and plot twists to the characters and the villains. I'm in love.

Mireya lives in a military base with her parents, and she feels like the less remarkable person of her age, but soon she will make decisions that will change her world forever. You have enough of romance to please romance seekers and enough intrigue to keep you motivated to keep reading.

Most twist and turns in the story, I realized those before our main character, but that is not a bad thing, is just that I have read many dystopian stories before.

Without spoilers I can say this is a good young adult book, safe for all, the most that happens is kissing, the book is also written in the first person so it gets a bit personal, some people don’t enjoy that, but for me, it worked.

The ending gives closure and also keeps the door open for the next book and I cant really comment that to not spoil your experience.

Thank you NetGalley and Oxford South press for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.

This was such a good science fiction book, it does what I was hoping for based on the description. It had great characters and a interesting premise. I was hooked from the start and glad I finished it. Amy Patrick has a great writing style and has a future in the scifi genre.

"There was an audible sigh. “It’s just how his mind works. He’s a scientist. And he hasn’t spent much time with him, honestly. He works all the time. But he could have tried harder to see what we see in Daniel, to accept him.”
