Paperback. This book was purchased used from a library bookstore, and so has been read multiple times. The spine is unbroken. The inside is fine. Smoke-free home. Similar vibes to Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Divergent by Veronica Roth, & Matched by Ally Condie. . Storygraph summary: It's graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can think about--hope for--is whether she'll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civilization. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings ("Cia, trust no one"), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance--and sheer terror--await.
