What initially attracted me to this book was the unique premise about a genetically engineered six-inch-tall winged girl, Lina. She was created, for lack of a better word, "as the solution to a worldwide energy and food crisis." Lina was raised completely alone in a forest, with her every move controlled by a group of sketchy scientists. When she meets a boy online, Jack, and falls in love with him, she decides that she will find a way to be with him. The scientists have a very different future in mind for Lina, and it involves a reality show where she will date a handful of "Toms", boys her own size and also genetically engineered, from whom she will choose one to mate with and try to reproduce little genetically altered kids. Sounds bizarre, I know, but it does seem to work here. The story is full of action, and well written. Lina and the boys are written with distinct voices and personalities. The setting is very interesting, as well. All in all, I quite enjoyed this book.
4/5 stars.

This book was requested when I was young and requested more books than I could possibly read. Sadly, I no longer have access to this book and my tastes have changed. Thus I will not be able to give feedback on this title.
