I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I loved this book!!Token is an awesome novel about a boy named Kincaid who grows up on an island getting prepared to be sold at the age of 16 in an auction. Only his best friend/girlfriend, Hadley, was sold early, and he does all that he can to reunite with her. He ends up being sold early as well and the rest of the book is filled with excitement and curiosity. You need to read it to see all the twists and turns this book has to offer.It's really surprising that this is the author's first book, as it is a great story and extremely well written. It has everything that popular novels today have, including heroism, love, sacrifice and deceit. If you loved the Hunger Games, you will love Token. It's a story I could see easily become a huge success and becoming a movie. I would definitely watch that.I highly recommend Token to anyone who enjoys dystopian fiction. The author perfectly balanced out the amount of action going on and the amount of emotions that were going through Kincaid's head, as well as a couple other tokens that we had the honor of reading their POV. It's gripping and you won't want to put it down until you're finished with it. Since it's a fairly short book, it won't take long to finish.I really loved this book and everything about it. There were some paragraphs I think that could've been shorter, but that's more my problem. I prefer not reading long paragraphs, sometimes I can't focus as well.I have to find out what happens next! The ending of the book left so many questions and I can't wait for the next book. Thank you so much to the author for giving me a copy of this book!
