The Ones We're Meant to Find by Joan He
4.0
This is the first book that I've read by Joan He and I am impressed! This YA tale alternates perspectives between Cee and Kasey. Cee has been trapped on an island by herself for 3 years. She has no idea how she got there and the only thing she can remember about her previous life is that she had a sister. Meanwhile, Kasey lives in an ec0-city, a place meant to protect its citizens from natural disasters and extreme weather that are a result of human's abusing the planet. Kasey is a science wiz and is desperate to find her missing sister.
This was quite the ride. There were so may loops and twists that it was like being on a coaster. The book pretty much gripped me from the start because I wanted to see what was going to happen next. I preferred the portions of the book narrated by Cee but both parts were strong. The writing was both lovely and gripping. JH did a great job establishing distinctive personalities for her characters and the world building was fantastic. This is a good book for fans of books with lots of WTF moments.
