Don't stand out. Don't speak up. Stay quiet. Be who they want you to be. In a dark future, the people are placed under mind control, lured by propaganda of the Imperium, their government. They are unable to think for themselves and constantly restricted. Astrid Hale has lived her whole life under the control of the Imperium and wants more than anything to be their most devoted citizen, willing to do anything to prove it. Callisto Adalwen finds herself as the only one who is completely her own person - a dangerous secret that could lead to her death if she fails to keep it. When their lives collide, they are forced to confront what they have been told and choose between their morals and their own safety. Two girls. Two realities. One story. "At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead. The hard thing is finding the courage to do it."--Katniss Everdeen (Catching Fire, chapter 8)

The first touch burns. The second will change her life. In the future, humans will never see each other face to face. Technology will facilitate all interactions, from emails to spoken conversations to a hike up a tree-lined mountain. They'll rely on machines to provide them with their basic needs and favorite indulgences, and they'll never know another person's touch. This is the world Alexis is born into. A grad student slated to become impregnated in a few months' time, Lexi's been struggling with her wild and reckless thoughts. Why aren't they allowed to question the Government's decisions? What if her friend, Parker, is right, and the pill regimen they're on deadens their sense of touch? And why does her heart stop and her chest squeeze whenever she's around Drew? Drew's a dangerous man. He asks the questions she's afraid to voice and makes her think. Makes her wonder. Makes her yearn. He promises to help her find the answers, the two of them fumbling toward something they don't understand. The first touch is painful, the second one less so. Each one awakens feelings Lexi has no words for, until she craves Drew like an addict needing a fix. As they discover what the Government has kept from them all their lives, they fight to find a way to have it all - even as it threatens to destroy them forever. **** Later chapters contain situations intended for a mature audience. Consider yourself warned :)
