I really liked this one from the relativly simple worldbuilding to the writing style. Also, I LOVE the cover.

Tropes: arranged marriage

Content: Ivy's neighbor is abusive to his wife, description of murdered girl who was raped, kissing

Note: I am calling this one a NA book due to the second book of the series.

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

It’s the year 2075, fifty years after a nuclear war has destroyed the United States. A small group of 10,000 survivors band together and live within the gates. No one has ventured beyond them for fear of what they may encounter.

Sixteen year old Ivy Westfall is the granddaughter of the founder of Westfall, this is the first year that the founder and president’s family will be united. But Ivy has been trained for two years for another mission; to kill her husband, the future president, Bishop Lattimer. But the line becomes fuzzy when after spending time with him she learns he’s different. When the truth come out her mother’s death, realization hits home that nothing may be what it seems. Will Ivy have the heart to murder the man she’s falling for? Could this sweet young man be the tyrant her father says he will become?

This book was extremely plausible, as many dystopian novels are. You can understand the need for arranged marriages with the hopes of increasing the population. In the same way, however, you can understand the people’s need for the freedom of choice. I enjoyed the way we got to watch Ivy mature before our eyes and slowly watch her fall in love with Bishop. From what I can see, I think Bishop has always loved her. I honestly can’t wait for book two, to find out if he goes after her or if he falls for Callie’s advances. This was a fantastic dystopian novel, very engrossing and one that was very hard to put down. A must read if you enjoy a dystopian novel with a sweet romance mixed in.

I liked this book. It is a great dystopian world and gave me Hunger Games meets The Selection vibes. I liked the slow build romance between Ivy and Bishop. ( )
