"I'm distracted from the boy I've bumped into when the world around me begins to change. The grey and white I've seen ever since I was born into this world slowly begin to bleed away, like rain drops sliding down a car window, being replaced with bright, bright pigments. They cover everything, bring to life the world around me. The gravel underneath my feet is no longer a dull grey, the sky is no longer white, the bricks of the buildings no longer black. They're different, beautiful, bright, extraordinary, breathtaking. Colors, I realize. These are colors." x Natalie Grayson has lived her whole life in black and white. She's been waiting to meet her other half- her soulmate- who will make both of their worlds burst in color. It's what she's been dreaming of ever since she was little. She wants to know what color is, how it feels, what it looks like, if it's really as amazing as everyone claims it to be. On her seventeenth birthday, while walking back home through a sketchy part of town, she bumps into a stranger. Before she can even apologize, the last thing she expected happens: the black and white of her world begins to bleed away and is replaced with something else. Colors. When she looks up, Natalie isn't expecting to lock eyes with a rebel. But she does. She also doesn't expect him to run away. But he does.

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

You may be thinking what is this about cause of the title, and you might already think you know but I doubt it. And this might go into a sequel we will see about how many people care to read this. Well it starts off with a girl her name is Jane her mother died so she has to move to California to live with her mom and brother.... he's in college so it's like she's and only child now. Janes never really had a relationship with him. When she was five her parents divorced and her mother left her and her father. Her dad never had a will so she lost all her stuff and instead of going with her grandma who was next door she has to move to San Francisco, California all the way from Maine. So she sure was excited..... no I can't say that even sarcasm doesn't help that. She hated it she's forced to move away from her life in Maine it's all she knew and now she's living with her mom that was the reason for the divorce and never cared to say hi send a letter or anything to Jane... her daughter so if you want you can say she was ecstatic. But it might not be all bad, the new school place means new people Jane thinks it bad but knowing who she'll meet she will love it or them. (I hope this is a good book.... tell me the truth and give me some pointers please:) it will help)
