SAFE by Dawn Husted

Synopsis:
A dystopian novel; Penelope Evans is eighteen, living in the Colony along with her family and other survivors. She finishes a day in the laboratory when her identification card begins flashing. This flash starts an upheaval of events leading further from her normality and towards the epic truth.

James Garak is attending the Academy where he works on achieving a higher rank. Nobody ever expects Penelope and James’ relationship to last long. A year later, they are still together.

But when they are forced to run, Penelope’s world turns upside down as she discovers the truth which will change her life forever. 

With lives at stake and guards on their trail, will they make it to safety? Will the dishonest lies behind the island’s bureaucracy shatter her existence or give her the drive to find a sister she never knew existed?

My Rating

-5/5-

A free copy was received from the author in exchange for an honest review.

The cover of this book is bland and looks pretty weird. The summery of the book seems boring to be honest. But I wanted to read this book anyways and im glad I did. It was really good. A lot better then I thought it would be. 
I have read a lot of dystopian books this year but this one was really good. The setting was easy to grasp. The people and what they were like weren't bad. It didn't take a lot to explain things. 
I liked how fast things took off, how it was interesting almost right away. 
I liked in the end how it recaps a lot but it doesn't bore you with all the details. I mean we learn through the book how our characters would act in situations so it doesn't need to tell you a billion times. So it wasn't repetitive. 
The characters were great and I really liked Penny and how she thought. 
I wish we could have learned more about Penny's family, It's not really necessary but I don't know might have been interesting. Or learned more about James or the rest of the people on the island that would have been cool to.

I'm really hoping that there will be a second book to be honest cause I just feel like the is big potential for a second book. I feel like learning more about everything would be amazing. Plus some things were a little open ended. I say really good book especially when dystopian books were starting to get boring this one was not boring for me.
