What this book is about
In a future where a war has wiped out most people between the ages of 20 and 60, young 'Starters' can rent their bodies to wealthy elderly 'Enders' through a company called Prime Destinations. Callie, homeless and desperate to care for her sick younger brother, rents herself out — only to discover her rental is being used for something far more sinister than advertised. A tense YA dystopian thriller.
