The Dividing Sky

I read The Dividing Sky by Jill Tew for book club. The book description says, "In 2364, eighteen-year-old Liv Newman dreams of a future beyond her lower-class life in the Metro. As a Proxy, she uses the neurochip in her brain to sell memories to wealthy clients. Maybe a few illegally, but money equals freedom. So when a customer offers her a ludicrous sum to go on an assignment in no-man's-land, Liv accepts. Now she just has to survive. Rookie Forceman Adrian Rao believes in order over all. After discovering that a renegade Proxy's shady dealings are messing with citizens' brain chemistry, he vows to extinguish the threat. But when he tracks Liv down, there's one problem: her memories are gone. Can Adrian bring himself to condemn her for crimes she doesn't remember? As Liv and Adrian navigate the world beyond the Metro and their growing feelings for one another, they grapple with who they are, who they could be, and whether another way of living is possible."

It's been awhile since I read a dystopian type book, so this took me a little bit to make sure I was following the story and the new world correctly. But once I got into the story, I was invested and enjoyed following it to see what happened to the characters and how things worked out. It was a fun premise, and again, I probably would have had more to say if I'd written this review right after finishing.
