My reading for the year is 100 books by December 31 and to write reviews on each book. So far I read 6 books and am 25 books behind schedule.
The first one I read this year was Wither by Lauren DeStafano. The MC is a girl named Rhine Ellery she lives in a world where women only lived to 20 years while men live till 25. This was caused by humans crating children in tubes to rid the world of diseases- called first generations- but left the following generations with severely short lifespans. The story starts with Rhine waking in a dark van full of a number of other girls and was one of the three girls chosen to marry a Governor- Linden. She meets and befriend his first wife- Rose- not long before she dies. The plot revolves around Rhine trying to escape from the manor with her life, escaping from Linden's first generation "mad scientist" father who's trying hard to keep his son alive, all while trying to maintain the first wife's privileges by pretending to love the naive Linden. Secretly falling in love with the servant Gabriel.
I give it a 4 out of 5 stars a great read and want to continue the series, but am unsure how it will play out.
