The fast-paced action will have readers gasping for the upcoming sequel.” - ALA Booklist “Cass’s immensely readable debut novel is a less drastic Hunger Games, with elaborate fashion and trappings. “Deliciously entertaining.” - Publishers Weekly Fairy-tale lovers will lose themselves in America’s alternate reality and wish that the next glamorous sequel were waiting for them.” - School Library Journal “An engrossing tale reminiscent of Shannon Hale’s Princess Academy and Ally Condie’s Matched.

At first, she attributed her crippling anxiety to the difficulty of adapting to a freewheeling new culture. She found that navigating the basics of everyday life-from buying a cell phone and filing taxes to education and childcare-was much more complicated and stressful than anything she encountered in her homeland.
