    About this ebook

    Never Let Me Go meets The Island for YA—perfect for fans of Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young.

    Raised in an elite foster center off the California coast, sixteen-year-old Tabitha has been protected from the outside world. Her trainers at the center have told her she’ll need to be in top physical condition to be matched with a loving family. So she swims laps and shaves seconds off her mile time, dreaming of the day when she’ll meet her adoptive parents.

    But when Tabitha’s told she’s been paired, instead of being taken to her new home, 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 she’s been kept in shape: PharmPerfect, a local pharmaceutical giant, is using her foster program as a replacement factory for their pill-addicted clients’ failing organs.

    Determined to save the rest of her friends at the center, Tabitha joins forces with her rescuers, led by moody and mysterious Gavin Stiles. As they race to 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?

      When Tabitha is finally selected by a family for adoption, she is shocked to be kidnapped by an odd assortment of characters. The group tells her that she was raised for her organs and that "adoption" meant she was condemned to die. Her thoughts immediately turn to the kids she left behind in the foster care center and a plan to rescue them quickly forms.I think that young adults will enjoy this book. However, it felt like the premise was ripped off from The Island. There were so many contradictions and problems with the back story that the whole story came off as amateurish and poorly thought out. For example, if the kids were so worried that they had to hide in a bunker, why did they spend afternoons playing at a waterfall, visiting the town and eating ice-cream very publically. This book was just a mess.
