Only one star...the beginning was interesting the it took a turn when she lost her memory and met the other people.

........spoiler...... One minute she is conducting an experiment the very next day she's married to a complete stranger in a mentally unstable town. Josh and his mother are crazy. The story is very long winded. I found myself skimming through the inner dialogue until I just gave up and skipped to the end. I'm glad I didn't continue reading because the ending was predictable. Not the book for me.

Interesting read

I haven't been able to put this series down. The concept is believable, government (s) have always used every means to stay in power, so the State, seems real.

I love the strong female leads.

The only drawback in this book is it jumps around. At some points it feels as though the author was rushed.

I liked the ending, the sudden marriage to a crazy cult dude is weird. Also why does everyone lose their first partner?
