I didn't quite know what to expect from this new author and have to be honest and say that comments about dystopian books often put me off ! The world we live in s black enough without authors constantly dreaming up worse futures for us all. I quite surprised myself with this tale as I found myself dragged into it very quickly  and actually found the lead character Pearl also known as unit 244 to be a rounded character full of hopes and unafraid  to be pro active.This book leaves the reader wanting more and quite curious about Pearls  past and also the lives of those she befriends. It's a world full of contradictions where relationships are not the norm and yet it is possible for the "establishment "to bid and buy human companionship. Life is seen as expendable but those who work as "units" seem to strongly feel they contribute to society.I found the ending came too swiftlyand really want to continue the journey that the character Pearl is taking. I have hope for her and can't help but feel that she wil experience a whole world of pain before her story is told. Well done Ms. Williamson on capturing this readers imagination! More please and soon!I was lucky enough to get this free in return for an honest review and would point out that it has mild sexual content but is suitable for a YA reader as well as adult5 stars from me
