Synopsis

Like all citizens since the Ruining, Carrington Hale knows the importance of this day. But she never expected the moment she'd spent a lifetime preparing for-her Choosing ceremony-to end in disaster. Ripped from her family, she'll spend her days serving as a Lint, the lowest level of society. She knows it's her duty to follow the true way of the Authority. But as Carrington begins this nightmare, rumors of rebellion rattle her beliefs. Though the whispers contradict everything she's been told, they resonate deep within. Then Carrington is offered an unprecedented chance at the life she's always dreamed of, yet she can't shake the feeling that it may be an illusion. With a killer targeting Lints and corruption threatening the highest levels of the Authority, Carrington must uncover the truth before it destroys her.

April 4, 2019 That was.. Wow. Just, wow. I had hoped the book would be decent, but I did not expect that level of greatness from a book I got for like, $4-$5 at the Dollar Store last summer on a whim😱 I need to somehow find book 2 and 3 because I need more Remko and Carrington adorableness💞......more

Goodreads review by Melanie on February 16, 2017

Excellent pacing and defined writing catches hints of a psychological thriller (like her father's books) and the world building of an incredible dystopian (such as Divergent). The character of Remko was brilliantly written. Carrington was done well. Larkin and Healms were strong side characters. Ove......more
