Omni (Omni #1) by Andrea Murray

Synopsis:
Pierce only wants a shot, a real shot, and not just the excuses he’s been handed his whole life. Harmony wants to escape her future, the future she fears will be chosen for her. After their chance meeting, they might get exactly what they want.Since taking over the US government years earlier, the Omni party has created a perfect existence. From consorts to job assignments, every choice, every facet of life is under their control. Each citizen has a specific role in one of the four strata. Seventeen-year-old Pierce is a Drudge, the lowest social stratum in society. For over two years, he’s hoped—prayed—that his upcoming aptitude test will finally free him from his virtual slavery and give him a chance at a better existence. When he rescues Harmony, an Artist and member of the most successful stratum, at a publicity event for her latest movie, his life takes an unbelievable twist. With his gallant act and good looks, he becomes a media sensation. Every stratum in society seeks his membership for their publicity, but as he becomes closer to Harmony, Pierce realizes what fame in the all-seeing eye of Omni is truly like. His choices will not only affect him but Harmony as well. The life Pierce thought he wanted may not be worth the cost to either of them. 

My Rating
-3/5-
I got a free copy of this book for a honest review. At first I found this book kind of boring, It was confusing, to dramatic and the characters felt fake. There emotions were either really intense or not there at all. It went on that way threw about 75% of the book, not really very interesting to me. The last 25% of the book is what made me start liking this book though.
That's where it started to feel real, the characters were actually felt like they could be real people. There was action, the story was going some where. It was a little confusing but there was mystery towards the ending that made it more like something you wanted to read. 
The ending saved this book from being a complete bore and it even made me want to read the next book. So if you read this book you probably just have to stick to it. OR you might feel differently then i do.
