I picked this book up on January the 1st and flew through it. The story is of a group of girls who, at a certain age, have to survive a year to get rid of their ‘magic’.⁣

It made me laugh in that sad understanding way,

“As far as I can tell, we all have hearts. We all have brains. There are only a few differences I can see, and most men seem to think with that part anyway.”
⁣
I felt like it was a combination of ‘The Lord of the Flies’ and ‘The Hunger Games’ but was a completely new story and it really hit home on some points,⁣
⁣
“We hurt each other because it’s the only way we’re permitted to show our anger. ⁣
When our choices are taken from us, the fire builds within. ⁣
Sometimes I feel like we might burn down the world to cindery bits, with our love, our rage, and everything in between.” ⁣
⁣
This is a great young adult read which kept me turning the page and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was made into a series! ⁣
