review 1: Be careful what you wish for! Want a perfect body? A walk-in closet full of fashion? Nightly parties and school with snacks and fun, fluff courses? Freesia lives in virtual paradise on a tropical island, but glitches & an oddly robotic Mummy and Daddy make her apprehensive. Reality rears its ugly head and Francine (aka "Freesia")wakes up to the shocking truth. This thought-provoking YA sci-fi novel contrasts a shallow, pretty, fake life with robust life full of warts and real relationships.
review 2: Feels like there was a deeper message but not sure it was clearly presented... The characters were flat and frankly largely odious... The dialogue was clueless in dystopia or utopia... Yet I turned the pages anyway... I tried to avoid spoilers... An intriguing titl... moree, tag line and cover got my attention.... There were echoes of Truman Show... Things that were foreshadowed and fizzled... Stairs anyone? Very hard book to rate... I think it would be a popular book in middle school especially among female readers and one that could inspire discussion on a host of topics ranging from school and testing to sedentary lifestyle to over reliance on technology... Unique... Was it good, that I don't know! less
