This book was so great! It was really original, with an awesome concept and great execution of said concept.
Colonized is about two teenagers, Jace and Twix, who get chosen to star in a reality TV show where they have to colonize a planet. They're to spend the rest of their life on this new planet, light years away from Earth, while other teens from different countries on Earth do the same on other planets.
One thing that I loved about Colonized was the descriptions of the planet Twix and Jace are on. It feels so vivid, and it was really easy to picture it. The same goes with the descriptions of space.
Something I noticed while reading this book is that it gets progressively better the further into the book you get. While it starts off a little shaky at times, by the middle of the story I was completely hooked. It's definitely worth sticking with, though.
Overall it was such a fun read! I definitely recommend it to everyone who likes sci-fi :)
Oh and did I mention, MY FRIEND WROTE THIS. SO COOL!!!

This is an amazing book to read. I'm really gratified and fascinated by author's intellectual, philosophical and sentimental narration of a formidable love story in the novel "Colonized". Also, the author has a way with language that's very perfect, every word delivering a specific meaning, every sentence assembling itself into the exact spot in the edifice. Literally, i'd say it's kinda a love manual that nearly acknowledges itself as such an experienced philosopher laying out anecdotes from her own life.

I'm a big fan of sci-fi and space exploration, so when I read the premise of this book I had to get it. I honestly couldn't put it down. I kept telling myself "oh, this is a nice light read, I'll put it down for now" and just... didn't.
On the surface I was expecting a very cliche YA with Hunger Games vibes set in space, which I was honestly okay with. However, I was pleasently surprised by some of the turns the story took, especially the ending (I won't spoil it). I'm not saying it's a literary masterpiece akin to War and Peace, it's still an easy read perfect for a night at home, but it's one that packs a punch and made me think. It broke the expectations I set up and I liked that.
It's not a hard sci-fi experience, but the world is rich and imaginative, and the characters were easy to love and root for. The dialogue between the protagonists felt very authentic and made for believable characters that felt real. If you like YA, but are tired of reading some overused tropes (like love triangles and evil dictators) then I recommend this.

when i was recommended this book i was scared because i really am not the biggest fan of sci fi. however this book surprised me with how fun and bubbly the plot and characters were! there is a cute no spice romance subplot and a well-developed theme and plot overall.
