Wither (Chemical Garden #1) by Lauren DeStefano

At age 16, Rhine Ellery has four years to live. Thanks to a botched effort to create a perfect race, all females live to age 20 and males live to age 25. On the cusp of her 17th birthday, Rhine attempts to flee, but what she finds is a society spiraling out of control.



My thoughts on Wither
Publish Date: March 22, 2011

The general idea: I've been kidnapped and forced into a marriage.

Thoughts upon seeing the cover art: She looks homeless in that dress.

It made me feel: Like we shouldn't genetically modify people.

Romance: I'm pretending to be in love with you to gain your favor so I can escape.

Highlight: Gabe
