Verify by Joelle Charbonneau
3.0
adventurous mysterious medium-paced

This was... Okay. It was one of those books that suffered from the intended message taking over the story, to the point where the plot and characters are pushed aside. I never connected with the story, nor its characters, and some of the situations were laughable.

With that being said, I know I'm a critical reader which is the only reason I didn't rate this lower than 3 stars. I can see people, especially younger YA readers, looking past some of the technicalities that I found myself irritated by. The message is still an important one, even if I didn't personally like the way it was presented.
