Not only is it a pacy young adult thriller, but looks at issues in mental health, such as self-esteem and anxiety, and the rigid values and virtues we sometimes hold people to, that need to change.Praise for The Unadjusteds Trilogy A pacy dystopia that romps along - speculative fiction at its most moreish! I love books exploring questions like this...what does playing god mean? And what's it like when you're the odd one out in the world? Perfect for 12+. Loved the mental health angle too, sensitively handled. - Louie Stowell (Author).I loved this book. Great characters and an absolutely brilliant concept! This will appeal to anyone who enjoyed The Hunger Games / Twilight.The writing was fantastic and the pace was perfect throughout - I was gripped from the first page. The characters were well drawn and I cannot wait to see what happens to them next! I could easily see this being picked up for a film option. - Catherine Emmett (Author)I blinkin' loved it! - Amazon Reader.Though I was a little heartbroken at the end, I just wanted more. Please tell me there's a sequel and I can return to the technicoloured and dangerous world of The Unadjusteds. - Noelle Kelly (Book Reviewer)The characters are excellent and imaginative! - GoodReads reviewerIt gave me moments of shock and out-loud gasping. - Amazon reviewerThe Unadjusteds was a well-written, intense and emotional story that kept my attention from start to finish. - Book bloggerI devoured this book! - Amazon reader.
