Starters

Summary
In a future Los Angeles, becoming someone else is now possible. Sixteen-year-old Callie discovers the Body Bank where teens rent their bodies to seniors who want to be young again. But when her neurochip malfunctions, she wakes up in the mansion of her rich renter and finds she is going out with a senator’s grandson. It’s a fairy-tale new life, until she discovers her renter’s deadly plan.

Afterthoughts
This dystopian offered a brand new view of a post-apocalyptic world, which was one of my favorite parts. The more you read, the more common plot structures and settings become, so this book was a refreshing read.
When America is attacked by biological warfare, they vaccinate children and the elderly against the spores, but don't have time to vaccinate anyone between the ages of 20 and 60, which wipes out that portion of the population. I really liked how this scenario is pretty realistic and believable.
The characters and plot were well thought through and enjoyable to read. Callie is an interesting POV to read and I like how her situation colors the way the story is perceived. The story ends with a twist that I definitely did not see coming and I can't wait to read the sequel. This is quite a worthwhile read!

Warnings
