Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi
4.0

Normally I'm not a fan of Alice-in-Wonderland-type stories, but I really enjoyed this one. Alice Alexis Queensmeadow is almost completely pale in a world where color is prized. She doesn't feel like her family really notices her, except for her father. Unfortunately, her father has been missing for the past three years. He left their country of Ferenwood under mysterious circumstances. Oliver, another boy Alice's age, is willing to help her find him. Soon, they go off on an adventure that will change them forever.

When it comes to Wonderland-type novels, I normally find them too weird for me. This one, despite the weird rules of Furthermore, worked for me. I found Alice to be very relatable, and I liked the way her relationship with Oliver progressed.
