 So very disappointed. :/ I am so glad I didn't buy this book when I had the impulse to a few times. I was going to give this just one star, but the ending deserved an extra one. I enjoyed only one character from this book, and that was Zen. He was quite likable. 
 I can't even explain why I didn't like this book without going into a massive rant. 
 (view spoiler)[When a virus makes every person over the age of 18 infertile, it is up to the teens in this world to make the babies. Fiction is fiction - but going into this book I expected the teenagers to be more against the pregnancy thing, more into fighting it. That wasn't the case. It is trendy to be pregnant, and anyone who isn't pregnant by 15 or 16 is pretty much looked down upon. It disgusted me a bit. Like I said, fiction, true - but I couldn't stand the story. 
 The thing I hated the most was the lingo! Words like "breedy" - "neggy" - "fertilicious" - "nubie-pubie" - And do not even get me started on the "masSEX party" thing (pretty much orgy parties for teens to have sex with multiple people in hopes of getting pregnant). I know it was meant to to let you see how big the teen pregnancy thing is to this dystopian world (and the lingo is meant to be sort of funny, I guess), but how on EARTH could I take this story seriously? It's classified as a YA book, but seriously... this book, even with it's adult themes (sex, pregnancy, etc.) is very juvenile. (hide spoiler)] 
 It doesn't look like book 2 is in my reading future.
