The Girl Who Takes Out The Trash

Glitch by Heather Anastasiu
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 3.72

Goodreads Summary:
In the Community, there is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from the Link network.

When Zoe starts to malfunction (or “glitch”), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.

As Zoe struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that are entirely new. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community before they’re caught and deactivated, or worse.

In this action-packed debut, Glitch begins an exciting new young adult trilogy.

Actual Rating: 4.0

An interesting concept, well executed, interesting characters.

I really liked this! I liked the writing style and the way the author argued every point form both sides. It had a good about of suspense and wondering to keep you on the edge of your seat but you were finding out answers to all your questions in good time.

The futuristic logistics that went into this book are pretty amazing. This author really wrapped her head around this idea, this Community, and made it her own. Turned it in to a surprisingly cute love story with more than one unexpected twist.

Honestly I've never read anything like it! Can't wait to see what happens in the next one..

(Only downside was it dragged on in places... was a bit repetitive)
