This story is set in the future after diseases have killed a large part of the world population.  People have a chip implanted in their forearm to tell the government how they are doing physically and to keep tabs on them.  If a person needs an organ transplant, a donor is found in the population that matches the recipient as close as possible.  You are required to donate for such transplants or be put in a holding facility and made to donate whatever until you die.  Kelsey, a young woman has been marked to donate a kidney to a stranger.  She refuses.  She is held in a holding facility and her refusal is taken to court.  Her boyfriend Luke, her father, her uncle (who is a lawyer and was a judge), and a good girl friend help her through the court process.  This story is very thought provoking in that you think about medical and personal ethics these people are having to deal with.  Does your own life come first before another persons life?  In this story you are not given a choice.  If you follow through with the procedure, you may possibly lose your life from the surgery or complications.  If you don't follow through, you are held in a facility and made to comply.  This story is very well written, it grabs your attention and keeps it all the way through.  The characters are complete and real.  A lot of suspense, with a lot of twists you don't expect.  Highly recommend this, can't wait for the sequel.  I received this free through Goodreads Making Connections group for an honest review.
