5 to 1 by Holly Bodger
3.0

First line: One month from today,
I'll wake to a team of
makeup artists--
hairstylists--
buzzing outside my door.

An interesting addition to the dystopian genre, Bodger provides social commentary on male gender preference and the danger of genetic modification. A good storyline paired with a quick read will intrigue younger readers. However, there is *a lot* of female bashing from the perspective of Kiran. It was to match his upbringing where females are prized higher than males but it was hard to read.
