The story has potential to be a great series but this first instalment is just not that great.
The story takes place in the year 2060 and follows the life of a eighteen year old girl named Madeline. In this future, computers have taken over our lives; people go to school, hang out with friends and go on dates via Internet connection. After retaliating once against this type of living and getting burned for it, Maddie has stayed within the confines of computer life. Then she meets Justin, a boy who refuses to live his life through a computer screen and her life is turned upside down.
Maddie falls head over heels for this guy and 90% of the story is about how she can't stop thinking about /looking at his lips and his perfectly messy hair... Yet there's an "analog revolution" happening around them and she doesn't really seem to care.
I realize the author probably did this because she intends on making a sequel and the plan is to develop the revolution more in the next book but it just ended up making me dislike Maddie and Justin's relationship and hope that it doesn't work out.
Overall, this is an okay book. The writing is good and has promise for a good sequel but I think I'll hold off on the recommendation until I've read book two because really, nothing has happened yet.
