Cody has always been proud of being a One. She and her boyfriend James were two of the lucky babies from the 1% of the U.S. population that were randomly selected to benefit from genetic engineering. Now, she and the rest of The Ones are excelling. They are healthy, beautiful, and talented. They aren't otherworldly, just perfect. And to some, that's not fair. The Equality Movement, capitalizing on the growing fear and jealousy, gains political traction and actually outlaws their existence. Society shows its darker side as The Ones are marginalized. The line between right and wrong blurs in the face of injustice and Cody becomes closer to a group of radical Ones intent on fighting back. James begins to fear just how far she is willing to go for the cause.

This one has been on my TBR for quite a while. You had me at genetic engineering. Sounds awesome
I want to read this because I’ve never read a book from the POV of the genetically engineered perfect person. To view this from another side is going to be exciting!
This just sounds so awesome and fascinating! Perfect people, genetic engineering, and jealousy–all in in a YA book. I love sci-fi, can’t wait to read it. Thanks for the chance!
