While the reader can make logical assumptions about why Callie might some day kill her sister, she doesn’t catch on right away and her focus is largely on seeing to it that her purported future doesn’t happen. The idea of learning precisely what your future will be from your own future self is an interesting concept, one I found quite intriguing when things go so wrong for Callie. Dunn’s twist on the theme of how a person’s future will look is new, at least to me, and I appreciate it (while still acknowledging a mild resemblance to the Matched series by Ally Condie). When authors choose to write within a certain subgenre, in this case dystopian, the good ones look for a way to make their individual work fresh so that it will stand apart from the crowd. If not, she must figure out how to protect her sister from the biggest threat of all-Callie, herself. With the help of her childhood crush, Logan, a boy she hasn’t spoken to in five years, she escapes this hellish prison.īut on the run from her future, as well as the government, Callie sets in motion a chain of events that she hopes will change her fate. Before she can process what it means, Callie is arrested and placed in Limbo-a hellish prison for those destined to break the law.
In her vision, she sees herself murdering her gifted younger sister. It’s Callie’s seventeenth birthday and, like everyone else, she’s eagerly awaiting her vision-a memory sent back in time to sculpt each citizen into the person they’re meant to be. Imagine a world where your destiny has already been decided…by your future self.
