Intermix Nation is a unique book with a really interesting take on race relations and society. I love dystopia reads and this is an exceptional book with a remarkable take on futuristic society. Interracial mixing is banned in Renatus and those like Nazirah Nation, who are intermix must fight to survive in a system of segregation and domination. This book resonates a powerful message, one that stays with you long after you close the book.From the opening chapter I loved everything about it and I could not put this book down. The story has a lot of twists and unexpected turns. I love the authors writing style, the storyline, the loss, the overall message. This book is phenomenal.Nazirah Nation has suffered a terrible loss. As a result, she joins her brother and the rebellion party. The memories of her loss eat away at her, she wants revenge, but she is terribly unhappy standing with the rebellion and terribly lonely. She longs for the days of simplicity. Instead she’s filled with grief and guilt day in and day out. Nazirah's struggle to find a balance and adjust to this new life cause her to become detached from everyone and everything. Just as she’s beginning to come to terms with her reality, her world is completely altered by the one person she never imagined she’d come face to face with. As she struggles with her anger and fears she soon realizes that everything is not always black and white and while some things can't be undone there are more things that define a person than one action.I don’t want to give too much, but I will say this is one of the best dystopia books I’ve read since The Hunger Games. I love everything about it. The story captivates you and you become engrossed with the characters the storyline. You'll be on the edge of your seat guessing what will happen next. I really hope the author decides to write more. I'd love more of this story especially with what happens in the final chapters!I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially to dystopia and new adult fans. Happy Reading!
