What this book is about
In a near-future America, the Bill of Rights has been replaced by moral statutes enforced by a brutal military. Ember Miller is arrested after her mother violates Article 5, and she's sent to a reeducation facility. When Chase Jennings — her childhood love, now a soldier — helps her escape, they're both on the run from the regime. Simmons's debut blends romance and dystopian tension effectively.
