About this ebook

From the author of Parallel comes a high-stakes romantic puzzler set in a near-future where everyone's life is seamlessly orchestrated by personal electronic devices. Imaginative and thrilling, this fast-paced story with two starred reviews is not to be missed.

Fast-forward to a time when Apple and Google have been replaced by Gnosis, a monolith corporation that has developed the most life-changing technology to ever hit the market: Lux, an app that flawlessly optimizes decision-making for the best personal results. Just like everyone else, sixteen-year-old Rory Vaughn knows the key to a happy, healthy life is to follow what Lux recommends. When she's accepted to the elite boarding school Theden Academy, her future happiness seems all the more assured. But once on campus, something feels wrong beneath the polished surface of her prestigious dream school. Then she meets North, a handsome townie who doesn't use Lux, and begins to fall for him and his outsider way of life. Soon, Rory is going against Lux's recommendations, listening instead to the inner voice that everyone has been taught to ignore—a choice that leads her to uncover a truth neither she nor the world ever saw coming.

Ratings and reviews

It was just okay, took me months to finish. Lots of dead zones, I would get bored and close the book but I was determined to finish it. The concept is cool but at times, I felt like it became unoriginal, reflecting characters from Divergent and other series. And lack of connection with the characters. There was so much more the author could have done. I didn't hate it but definitely didn't like it.

Thought it was going to be some falling in love crap, but it was more adventure and thrilling and a little bit of love so I loved it
