In the model community of Candor, Florida, every teen wants to be like Oscar Banks. The son of the town’s founder, Oscar earns straight As, is student-body president, and is in demand for every club and cause.
But Oscar has a secret. He knows that parents bring their teens to Candor to make them respectful, compliant—perfect—through subliminal Messages that carefully correct and control their behavior. And Oscar’s built a business sabotaging his father’s scheme with Messages of his own, getting his clients out before they’re turned. After all, who would ever suspect the perfect Oscar Banks?
Then he meets Nia, the girl he can’t stand to see changed. Saving Nia means losing her forever. Keeping her in Candor, Oscar risks exposure . . . and more.
In this book you really are what you hear, or more of what you don't actually hear. Oscar does a lot of work to be exactly what his dad doesn't want but also spends a lot of time pretending to be perfect. Tell Nia comes anyways.
This book seemed a little weird and choppy to me, but not too much. I did like where it went though, how everything worked out. Glad with the choices made for this book the author did a good job. I gave it a 4/5 and say its a book I could recommend to people.
Also the ending was great made the book so much better. Also if you looking for a good book that isn't in a series, and is dystopian this is one of them.
