Divided by day and night and on the run from authorities, star-crossed young lovers unearth a sinister conspiracy in this compelling romantic thriller.
Seventeen-year-old Soleil Le Coeur is a Smudge—a night dweller prohibited by law from going out during the day. When she fakes an injury in order to get access to and kidnap her newborn niece—a day dweller, or Ray—she sets in motion a fast-paced adventure that will bring her into conflict with the powerful lawmakers who order her world, and draw her together with the boy she was destined to fall in love with, but who is also a Ray.
Set in a vivid alternate reality and peopled with complex, deeply human characters on both sides of the day-night divide, Plus One is a brilliantly imagined drama of individual liberty and civil rights, and a fast-paced romantic adventure story.
My Review:
Oh, wow, I really enjoyed this book! It got my blood pumping, the injustices in this book, that they were forced to live in a time, day or night, and then what we discover? It was so great, and it's a bit of a mystery thriller, in a YA Dystopia, so yeah, it's a pretty intense book!!!
I loved to hate this world, because it was pretty detailed, and I think dealt with issues such as segregation, and how one side had more power then the other, that when the night leader is going to tell the truth discovered in this book, she's going to lose her power, and yeah, that's not too good!
This romance was sweet, and developed in a pretty intense situation-she kidnapped her nephew, so her great-grandfather could see him, and that causes a lot of problems, including dealing with the doctor-in-training, Ray, and falling in love with him, and his world, because while he and his mom are Rays, his dad is a Smudge. So there was that!
There were a lot of betrayals, double crossings, and surprise twists that really kept the action going, propelling the characters to new heights, and yeah, that it ended on a note where I want more of this world, and to see how it's going, because that was quite an ending!
I really enjoyed this book, it was really great, and yeah, I hope for a sequel!
