Imagine a world where your destiny has already been decided…by your future self.
It’s Callie’s seventeenth birthday and, like everyone else, she’s eagerly awaiting her vision―a memory sent back in time to sculpt each citizen into the person they’re meant to be. A world-class swimmer. A renowned scientist.
Or in Callie’s case, a criminal.
In her vision, she sees herself murdering her gifted younger sister. Before she can process what it means, Callie is arrested and placed in Limbo―a prison for those destined to break the law. With the help of her childhood crush, Logan, a boy she hasn’t spoken to in five years, she escapes the hellish prison.
But on the run from her future, as well as the government, Callie sets in motion a chain of events that she hopes will change her fate. If not, she must figure out how to protect her sister from the biggest threat of all.
Callie herself.
I thought that the premise of this book seemed interesting and different enough from other dystopian novels that I thought that I would give it a chance. It was mildly disappointing but still an overall enjoyable read. There were points in the book where I wasn't sure what to think. I got really confused because I didn't understand where characters were coming from or how the conclusions that they drew were supposed to change their fates.
I could feel the chemistry between Logan and Callie although I didn't understand why their romance was such a focus in the book. I had trouble comprehending how with lives on the line along with Callie feeling like becoming a murderer was inescapable the romance was at the forefront of the story for a good portion of the book. If I was in Callie's situation, I don't think that I would be worrying about getting butterflies when my crush is around me.
The book wasn't horrible, I just feel that it could have been better if not for the confusing choices the characters made, the in your face romance, and the at times confusing plot points.
