Like The Hunger Games, this is a smartly-written dystopian YA novel with some interesting world building. And, amazingly, it avoids the YA trope of a love triangle for the main character. I think [b:A Need So Beautiful|7656231|A Need So Beautiful (A Need So Beautiful, #1)|Suzanne Young|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1300744024s/7656231.jpg|10230316] is the only other one I can think of that skips that cliche as well. If you're wondering "What's next?" after finishing the Hunger Games but are wary of wading through too many YA books, this is a great one to pick up.
