Received this book from a Goodreads First Reads Giveaway!
Summary:
The world has gone to hell and all over a credit score. Anyone with an unacceptable credit score is forced out of their home and made to fend for themselves in this decaying world. You follow a couple different characters throughout the book, one of them being a mysterious girl who has no credit score.
Likes:
I liked the attempt at setting up the world and I enjoyed the idea of the plot.
Dislikes:
This book was a little jumpy to me and just didn't flow like I wanted it to. I'm a huge lover of dystopian and I was just left wanting more from the story and characters.
Overall:
Not the best dystopian I've read due to the execution not being all there. The concept though was wonderful and I can see the potential in the writing.
