Sugar Coated (The Sugar Coated Trilogy #1)
Like every other resident of the planet Halcyon, Brynn's home provides everything she needs, money is unheard of, and life is perfect. But unlike the rest of Seaside's residents, Brynn has questions. Why can't people leave the city? Why does the ocean fill everyone with terror? Who are the Workers? Not only is Brynn curious where others are compliant, but she suffers from chronic nightmares of an angelic woman torturing her for information she doesn’t possess. But these are more than just figments of her imagination; they're memories of things that never happened.
When Brynn meets Jonah, a brilliant, library-dwelling boy who shares her questions and her curiosity, they formulate a plan to find answers. Somewhere, the perfect veneer of Halcyon's instant gratification hides a city that only Brynn knows about—a city she and Jonah are determined to find. But will finding the city give them answers, or simply uncover the horrific truth behind the perfection?
This story is so nerve wracking and sometimes I am sitting on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what is exactly going on. The dreams were creepy and sometimes her friends were annoying because they just wouldn't believe her.The beginning did drag on a little, but then things got exciting when Jonah came a long. I wonder who she will end up choosing between the boys. I haven't been able to choose which one I like best either. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next book.
I have been getting into a lot of dystopian novels ever since I read The Hunger Games. All of the dystopian novels I've read so far tend to have some sense of rebellion fairly early on, as the world hasn't quite reached that perfect Utopia, even with everything society has set in place. That is until I read Sugar Coated. "Sugar Coated" is definitely a great way to describe Brynn's world at the beginning. Everything is right at everyone's finger tips by simply requesting things from a computer.
I was in love with Sugar Coated from the first page. The writing style was exactly the type of book I like reading. Drama, Sci-fi, Romance, Action, everything I love. The story was fresh, at first I found myself thinking it was similar to Uglies by Scott Westerfield, but it truly is original. The book was a perfect length, and I felt intrigued to never put it down. Some books you have to force yourself to finish, but this was not one of them. I wanted to read it, and I couldn't stop. The
I was lucky enough to get to read Sugar Coated pre-release, and when it comes to dystopian fiction, Sugar coated has everything a fan could ever want. I have an addiction to dystopian series's and in my opinion this book is hands down the best in its genre. The author does a fantastic job at grabbing the readers attention right from the start, and when it grabs, it doesn't let go. In fact it does the exact opposite. It grabs your attention, sticks it in a little box, shakes it all around,
If you enjoy straight up YA romance, perhaps you will like this book. Do not expect action or intrigue. Little happened. There were striking moments, but the language was too absorbed in the main characters looks for anything to strike deeply. The love triangle takes up the majority of the book. The premise was typical dystopia with little to distinguish itself. There were a few promising threads, but they were never fulfilled.
Reviewed on Clean Teen Fiction Every time I read one of Shannen's books I get swept away with the characters. I love her characters! This book had the added treat to see a new world built. Her other books are contemporary, but this "Utopian" society was so different and interesting.Along with being given anything they want the people of this society are taught to be afraid of water! It was such an intriguing and different idea. Even though I love water, I was terrified for them. I related to
