Select by Marit Weisenberg

Rating: WARTY!

After Julia jeopardizes the future of her secret community of wealthy superhumans, she’s forced to attend public high school as punishment." Public high school is a punishment? What the fuck? Is that what this snotty author thinks of public schools? of course she meets "enigmatic John" and "everything changes…" except for the fact that this is yet another stupid, unimaginative YA piece of garbage. No wonder Kirkus thought it was "A spellbinding Romeo and Juliet retelling with “a mighty twist at the end to look forward to.” That, right there, is enough to make me avoid this one. And of course if there's one more thing we need in this world it's yet another stupid-ass retelling of Dumb-ass Romeo meets idiotic Juliette in which the couple live.
