Day is a fifteen-year-old criminal wanted for charges of assault, theft, and hindering the war effort but he is not as malevolent as the Republic makes him seem. June, also fifteen, is a a prodigy, the youngest student at the country's top university and is being trained for the military. When June's brother Metias is murdered, Day becomes the prime suspect and June is out to get him. In the vicious game of cat and mouse that follows, both Day and June discover that they are mere pawns of the government and with that, they realize the lengths their government will go to in order to protect it's secrets.

I don't know why I feel so prejudiced against this book. No idea. Everyone else loves it. I just feel as if there were too many inconsistencies. June and Day are both incredible geniuses but it takes them weeks to realize that they are supposed to be enemies. June's life is just too perfect; she is just too perfect and yet, at the same time, she is pretty stupid. Day has a really annoying way of talking and although he's apparently super awesome, he never really seems to do anything but sit around. Tess was brilliant though.
Overall: I know all the complaints above sound incredibly petty but I just didn't really enjoy reading this book. The first time was okay, the second time, not so much...
