REVIEW: Free to Fall - Lauren Miller

I was recommended this book from Amazon probably due to my love of dystopian YA fiction (Now that I think about it, that seems very ironic to me) . Although this is technically a dystopian story - the future is much closer to present time than most dystopian literature.

The book is set in 2035 and society has now become completely dependent on a technology called Gemini (Apple iPhone) and especially with a program called Lux (Suri anyone?). This day in age, no one makes decisions on their own anymore and require the recommendation for everything from what to eat to what to wear (what to read?) from Lux. It follows the life of Rory Vaughn who has been accepted into an elite school called Theden. As with every dystopian that is around now a days, she falls in love with a boy who is "unplugged" and discovers that Lux may not be the program everyone thinks it is.

This is a typical YA dystopian book that I wouldn't consider earth shattering in any way. It is a good and easy read, but the typical dystopian formula is there so in the future it will be hard to differentiate it from the thousands of other dystopian books that exist.

Goodreads stars: 4/5
