Synopsis 
 Madeline Landry is the heiress to Landry Park. Her family estate is responsible for the nuclear energy that saved what was left of the Americas making them one of the reigning gentry families. She is expected to marry, produce an heir, and take over the family business. But Madeline has dreams of attending university and setting her own path. Her domineering father will not be swayed and as she attends balls and is pressured to debut, she finds a surprisingly kindred soul in David Dana, a highly sought after bachelor. Soon rumors of war and rebellion start, and Madeline finds herself at the center of it all. 
 Thoughts 
 I was really hoping to like this more than I did. It's definitely a unique take on dystopians as it has a very Jane Austen vibe to it. It's a mixture of past customs and future technology. Madeline is a teen completely struggling to figure out who she is in a world where she was raised to believe one thing and her struggle to change her world view is wholly believable. I should have loved this book, but it kind of lost me at the halfway point, which is when a love triangle took center stage. Don't get me wrong, I think triangles can be awesome and serve a purpose. I just did not enjoy this one and it took away from the story that the first half of the book sets up. An intriguing idea and those who want a little Jane Austen with their dystopia may find a winner in it.
