In the future love will make you a traitor.

120 years after a virus decimated earth’s population the survivors thrive in safety, away from the death and destruction of the Outerbounds. Divided into three levels of intellect, Citizens focus solely on duty.

Due to her advanced intelligence, seventeen-year-old Avlyn Lark is separated from her twin brother at birth and raised by adoptive parents. She gains privilege, the ideal future. He dies. Avlyn barely knows him yet remains linked to his memory.

But following a string of rebel intrusions on the city, Avlyn receives a cryptic message and begins seeing visions of her dead twin. The mysterious radical who urges Avlyn to join their fight becomes her link to answers. Freedom.

Opportunity awaits, but if she says yes will she lose it all?

Configured is the first novel in a trilogy YA dystopian/light romance that poses the question: does humanity need love for survival? Fans of Divergent, Matched, and the Maze Runner will love this world of dark secrets, intrigue and desire for a better tomorrow.

Only 3% (view spoiler)[ in and it’s unoriginal. The thing with these books not liking emotions is played out. This is the third book like this recently read where the emotions come into play. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Well there is a lot to take in but I think I've got it. It's another strict world where there are lots of punishments but there is also the undertone of a resistance in the background. (hide spoiler)]

50%

(view spoiler)[ I'm not really into this just yet. I've wanted to read this for awhile but I'm feeling disappointed. I'm not really warming up to the character and I feel she is going against everything she believes in too quickly. Wheres the internal struggle, the guilt and all that. (hide spoiler)]

82%

(view spoiler)[ So lots of people are dying at the moment and her extra work is getting more dangerous. (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Well i wasn't really a fan of this. the character is too dimensional and the world is very hard to understand. I felt we got no real explanations things just seemed to happen. I have been low in my mood and I think it's affecting my reading. (hide spoiler)]

I'm happy to read the next one to see if it was me.

Nothing new in this. I do like the main character. (hide spoiler)]

60% (view spoiler)[ I don’t like Meyer’s hot and cold attitude. I get he’s on a mission but he’s being a bit jerky. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ So many things just didn’t make sense. She didn’t like her parents but the end the loved her and she them. Everything was so rushed. Of course the brother was alive but the reaction was lack luster. Dud (hide spoiler)]

I thought it was just me as I was finding it hard to enjoy any book but they were all buddies and for 80% of the books the buddy felt the same.
