Mixing Instructions
Take above ingredients. Mix as well as you would like. Layout on 240 (or so pages) and publish.

Now wait, I know it takes more than that to write a book. There is a lot of blood, sweat and tears that go into creating a world and publishing a novel, but it was hard for me not to see the glaring pulls from some of the most popular young adult dystopian novels.

There is potential here. I didn’t throw down this book after 50 pages in disgust because something didn’t sit right spatially in my head. The idea of women being infertile was intriguing, but put together haphazardly. The story, on the whole, just needed more time in the lab.
