She's 17, has been in an institution for years, and could accidentally kill you by touching you. 

I've been hearing about this series for a long time. 

I like the voice and the strikeouts. 

I have a tote bag with this line on it. Fun surprise. 

I love this line. 

I had forgotten that this was the book that this cool coaster was based on.

Honestly, I feel pretty meh about the book. It was fine. 

Late night edit: I just realized that I kept trying to make her Rogue. Like, from X-Men.

So first off, what a thoughtful use of a first jacket. This is a really well designed book. It is also a strikingly well written book. There were at least two times that the book almost brought me to tears!
It avoids a lot of tropes that are becoming staples in YA dystopian novels. The characters are varied and honest and the plot is engaging.

Warning! I really really really hope she writes the sequel! The ending is really left with another book in mind!
