Loved this book!! Is tech so bad for us that it needs to be completely stripped from our lives? What could happen if a group completely isolated themselves from tech?

⭐⭐⭐
I enjoyed the premise of this book and the unique storyline. However, I didn't care for the fact that Blanca was fierce and unique and out of nowhere she becomes a mindless drone.
No gradual change. Just one chapter shes unique BAM next chapter: drone.
Also, towards the end, the story seemed rushed and a lot of it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It was enjoyable but it's definitely not a book I would pick up again.
Poolside. Nice breeze. Preparing for our #MonthlyBookClub discussion with the author. @MonthlyBookClub
Meh. Not my favorite genre. Excellent idea and general story. Feel like the beginning was extremely rushed and more time could have been spent on explaining the program and information on the “schooling”. Also feel the struggle the main character experienced trying to figure things out could have been executed better. Whole story was rushed in general and I didn‘t like how it ended. I enjoyed reading it, just could have been more substance.

I loved this book! I was super hesitant at first but i really liked it!
Just got done reading this book! Wow I really love this book! It is written really well and the pace of the book is really great and keeps you engaged! I can't wait to read the next book of this series
I got this as a ARC and I am very impressed with this book it keeps me interested the whole time and make me love the characters! It hooked me from the first line!
Such a great take on dystopian. Plus Jennifer Bardsley (aka The YA Gal) is great❤️.
This was such an original and intriguing concept for a book. I just would have liked things to be fleshed out more since everything happened really quickly. A greater connection to the characters was needed as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Happy book birthday, you crazy-good book, you! 🎉🎈📕❣
Full review blogged: https://areadinglife.com/2016/06/14/genesis-girl-by-jennifer-bardsley/
Full review to be blogged soon. This was the rare SciFi dystopian novel I actually loved! Blanca is a teenager raised w/o access to most technology & has no online presence. She's auctioned off to the biggest bidder as is done with Vestals like her. What happens next is anything but ordinary...
And with an opening like that I've been sucked into the intensity of Genesis Girl!
Such a good book! Author takes on tech addiction and tech avoidance in her world.
