Rite of Rejection
By Sarah Negovetich
December 4, 2014

Labeled as a criminal, Rebecca is sent to a penal colony instead of being accepted into society. The Machine has rejected her. It’s hard for her behind the wired fences. Rebecca is terrified so she joins a band of misfits in an attempt to escape. She is sure she can find love and freedom but if only she can embrace the criminal that she was labeled in order to prove her innocence.
I liked the wording of the ebook but I thought the pacing was kind of slow. Not really boring but it did lose my attention and I ended up skimming through most of the ending.

Thank you to NeGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I unfortunately was not able to read this book. I was excited when ever I had chosen to download or pick this book up on Netgalley. However, time moves by so quickly and I never got to read it.

I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. I love our main character Rebecca so very much. As well as all of the other characters. The death that happened in this was so very sad. This was a pretty fast read. It was crazy how the world we live in today could easily turn into the world in this book. I immediately picked up the sequel and am reading that now!

3.5 stars.
Despite having some similarities to other YA dystopian books, Rite of Rejection had me hooked! Rebecca lives in a world where you are either accepted into society or deemed a potential criminal and, therefore, sent to the PIT. This book would have been so much better if it wasn't for Rebecca herself. She was slightly whiney and annoying at the beginning but this improved- albeit, slightly- throughout the story. I loved Molly though! She was such an interesting side character that added a lot to the story.
I nearly rolled my eyes so much that they fell out my head when I got a whiff of the love-triangle going on but I was happy when that was gone by the end and we had a definitive end game of a romance. However, I just didn't feel invested in the characters; it was just like and not love for me.
The cliff hanger is what could sway me to read the rest of these books because of my curiosity to see what happens in the sequel.
