So if I'm honest this isn't my favourite dystopian book, the ranking system concept was good, but the whole royal family was insane! It all started for Kitty Doe, a newly ranked III, destined for sewage cleaning far away from her group home and boyfriend Benjy. But when the Prime Minister offers her a VII without explaining how only that she can stay alive and she won't have to move away from Benjy she accepts. Only to find out why when she wakes up to a different face in the mirror...Lila Hart, the Prime Ministers Niece. Lila was killed in a "freak accident" and Kitty is now her cover. Destined to marry Lila's fiance as well as either ending or continuing Lila's work in the rebellion against her own family.
That's just the bare basics....so many conspiracies, other masked family members, lies, and too many near death experiences.
Though I enjoyed this book, it really frustrated me! Kitty made so many stupid choices, and the other characters were just screwed in the head! And "Elsewhere!" That whole concept was so mind blowingly fucked up. Despite it's many flaws and stupidity I need to know what happens next!
