Summary
In a world where everyone is the same, one girl is the unthinkable: unique. A high-stakes fast-paced series launch from New York Times best-selling author Rachel Vincent. We have brown hair. Brown eyes. Fair skin. We are healthy and strong and smart. But only one of us has ever had a secret.
Dahlia 16 sees her face in every crowd. She's nothing special - just one of 5,000 girls created from a single genome to work for the greater good of the city.
Meeting Trigger 17 changes everything. He thinks she's interesting. Beautiful. Unique. Which means he must be flawed. When Dahlia can't stop thinking about him - when she can't resist looking for him, even though that means breaking the rules - she realizes she's flawed, too. But if she's flawed, then so are all her identicals. And any genome found to be flawed will be recalled.
Destroyed.
Getting caught with Trigger would seal not only Dahlia's fate, but that of all 5,000 girls who share her face. But what if Trigger is right? What if Dahlia is different? Suddenly the girl who always follows the rules is breaking them, one by one by one.

Decent YA story
I hadn't realised this was a Young Adult book going in but knowing that now I won't criticise the simplistic world building and basic plot.
The characters were OK. The main girl having to constantly discover things that are normal to us but outside of her sphere of reference, while plot-necessary, became tedious very fast.
The society was much more strictly controlled than the one it was supposed to mirror from Brave New World and it seemed absurd. There are several times I saw inconsistencies that would probably count as plot holes in a book aimed at adults.
The romance/love at first sight was strange. On the one hand, Romeo and Juliet style romance was fun to read especially set in a regimented society (although the characters broke their molds very quickly) but on the other hand the uneducated girl swooning over the big, hunky, confident, sexually-experienced, computer-savvy man with all the answers felt a bit simplistic.
The narration was competently handled and I had no porblems there.
Sadly, while the plot wasn't anything special and the worldbuilding was similarly light I find myself quite compelled to buy the final book in the two part series to find out what happened next. I think I'll cave and do so soon.
