SYNOPSIS:


        
IN THE FUTURE, LOVE WILL MAKE YOU A TRAITOR.

120 years after a virus decimated earth’s population the survivors 
thrive in safety, away from the death and destruction of the 
Outerbounds. But there is a price. Divided into three levels of intellect, 
Citizens focus solely on duty. Emotions are pointless, even dangerous.

Due to her advanced intelligence, seventeen-year-old computer genius, 
Avlyn Lark is separated from her twin brother at birth and raised by 
adoptive parents. She gains privilege, the ideal future. He dies. 
Avlyn barely knew him yet he remains bound to her memory. 
But following a string of rebel intrusions on the city, Avlyn receives a cryptic message.

 After which, she begins seeing visions of her dead twin, not to mention a 
strange power she doesn't understand starts to emerge. The mysterious 
radical who urges Avlyn to join their fight becomes her link to answers. 

Freedom. Love. Opportunity calls, but if she says yes will she lose it all? 
Configured is the first novel in a Configured trilogy that poses the 
question: does humanity need love for survival? 

Fans of Divergent, Matched, and the Maze Runner will love this world 
of dark secrets, intrigue and thirst for a better tomorrow.

MY THOUGHS:

The author Jennetta Penner writes a convincing story that you want to just dive into. Her world is set into the near distance future, where things don't seem as they should be. I was on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. " One more page, just one more". The characteristics of the characters just jump off page at you as their story is told. The story reads quickly with its twists, turns and many, many surprises. With the many dystopian depicted worlds written today, I feel that Jennetta Penner's story throws down the gauntlet with the best of them.

I highly recommend this dystopian trilogy. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
jenetta-18dcropedsquare2small400    Author Bio: I'm Jenetta and a lifetime lover of Sci-Fi (thx Dad). I had a weird LONG stint (declaring HOW long would give away too many age secrets... and eh hem... a girl never tells) where I read almost no books for pleasure (the horror!). Near the end of 2014 I picked up Hunger Games, and I was off like a rocket. That next year I read about 40 YA books (mostly Sci-Fi/dystopian) and a couple months into it got the idea to write a book (with no prior experience or even desire) about children who were not allowed to be raised by their biological parents. You see, I am an adoptive mama of two lovely daughters from foster care. That story grew into what Configured is today. It has been a HUGE journey with a lot of ups and downs and it took WAY longer than I anticipated. But it is finally here.
