Willow Anne | 77 comments I'm pretty sure I read this book in 2015, except I only read about the first 50 pages so I don't know much about it. All I really know is that it took place in a future, dystopian society on earth where scientists had tried to extend lifespans by doing something to people's DNA or something, but it ended up having the opposite effect and now everyone dies at like 17 or 18. The main character is a girl who's in her young teens and I think she got sold to some rich guy who has tons of wives or something? I could be wrong on that. Anyways, the last thing I remember reading was that her and some other person, a girl I think, start rowing away on a boat on the ocean at night to escape (I can't remember from what), but I think the other girl ends up dead somehow. I believe that the non-main character girl wanted to get back to her family or something.

If I'm remembering correctly, the cover was of a girl wearing a lot of fancy clothes and jewelry.

I'm looking to finish it, but can't seem to figure out what book it is, so I appreciate any help!
