Underground Dystopia

Escaping Eleven by Jerri Chisholm
Publication Date - December 8, 2020
3 stars








I find the premise of this YA dystopian series extremely interesting.  As planet Earth has become uninhabitable, wealthy corporations have built underground compounds for the rich.  Since the rich obviously need people to do the jobs below them, they created a stratified society where one's worth is determined by what level of the compound the live on.  Eve lives on one of the lower levels and by appearance is training for the life of a fighter, but secretly is planning her escape from compound eleven.  She meets Wren, from the highest floor, and begins an unlikely relationship.  I think that this plot is exciting and even realistic.  I found the relationships, though, to be a tad superficial and I wasn't a huge fan of the romantic aspect.  The ending did leave me wanting to see what happens next, so I will most likely try to read the next in the series.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
