Description
Raised in an elite foster center off the California coast, sixteen-year-old Tabitha’s been sculpted into a world-class athlete. Her trainers have told her she’ll need to be in top physical condition to be matched with a loving family, even though personal health has taken a backseat outside the training facility. While Tabitha swims laps and shaves seconds off her mile time, hoping to find a permanent home, the rest of the community takes pills produced by pharmaceutical giant PharmPerfect to erase their wrinkles, grow hair, and develop superhuman strength.
When Tabitha’s finally paired, instead of being taken to meet her new parents, she wakes up immobile on a hospital bed. Moments before she’s sliced open, a group of renegade teenagers rescues her, and she learns the real reason for her perfect health: PharmPerfect is using her foster program as a replacement factory for their pill-addicted clients’ failing organs. And her friends from the center, the only family she’s ever known, are next in line to be harvested.
Determined to save them, Tabitha joins forces with her rescuers, led by moody and mysterious Gavin Stiles. As they race to infiltrate the hospital and uncover the rest of PharmPerfect’s secrets, though, Tabitha finds herself with more questions than answers. Will trusting the enigmatic group of rebels lead her back to the slaughterhouse?

The ending of this book shocked me. Not because of the actual ending (though that was great) but because it was over. I wanted to live in this world a little while longer...maybe a long while longer. I hope there's a follow up book to this.
I really enjoyed this book! From the first page, I was hooked on Tabitha's story. I love the "found family" trope, and enjoyed the dynamics of the barn kids. Breaking Paige out of the hospital had me on the edge of my seat. I liked both love interests, although I supported Tabitha's decision to be Team Gavin. At first I was concerned about the women-hating, but was pleased to see Tabitha's relationship with Cherry and Sasha develop and change over the course of the book. Some of the pacing felt a little uneven, and I still had some questions about the world building, but overall I really loved this book and flew through it within a day.
