This is a YA book and has some of the characteristics of a
YA book focused on young women.
But! It explores feelings and
frustrations which should never be confined to a gender bias. It also deals with genetic engineering which
is at the root of the drama.
Teva is a young woman going through all the fears and
concerns of most 16 year old girls. This is a hypothesis since I am reasonably
sure no one, that is no one knows what is going through the mind of a 16 year
old girl. I say that with affection as
I was lucky enough to spend part of my professional career as a high school
guidance counselor and believe me when I truly feel no one, not even the teen
knows what is going on in a 16 year old girls mind. The most interesting thing is that some of
those “girls” are now adults that I count as friends and they survived the
mysteries of that time of their life.
I was truly shocked at how
much I liked this book. It is a
testament to the author that she has written a book that can be thoroughly
enjoyed by a literarily jaded adult and young people not just young women.
I highly recommend the book, no violence, no guns, bombs or
fast cars, just a very good depiction of what kids go through even without
genetic manipulation.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
