Being a big Gossip Girl fan, I knew I was going to fall completely in love with this book as it was described as a ‘futuristic Gossip Girl’. I began reading this book with absolutely no clue on what kind of drama was going to go off, all I knew was it was like Gossip Girl, which gave me a big enough idea on how bitchy these characters were going to be and what lengths they would go to get their own ways. I’m totally going to put my hands up now and say I love drama, as long as it isn’t my own, and this novel feeds you the most perfect amount. The drama isn’t over the top and unrealistic, it is the right type of drama for 5 teenagers and if I’m being honest, the Gossip Girl gang are WAY more complicated then this gang.
The story starts with a prologue explaining a mysterious girl falling off the thousandth floor at a party, which pulls you in immediately as you just need to know who the girl was. Once the prologue has got you down and gripped, it takes you on the journey of 5 teenagers; you have your typical Gossip Girl gang of teens with ridiculous amounts of problems, along with parents hiding secrets from their children. Some stories will be more exciting than others; I especially enjoyed Eris’ and Rylin’s the most, as they were so different from each other but there lives were more similar than they could ever know. Eris lived in one of the highest floors of the tower, with as much money as she could possibly need, until a secret comes out and leads her to live the life of the poor. Rylin, already living the life of the poor, gets to experience the life of a higher when she begins dating a wealthy guy called Cord. Whilst they were the most fascinating to me, each character pulls you in one way or another with their drama.
Being as this is 2118, it is absolutely jam packed with all sorts of futuristic gadgets that I could only dream of having in this lifetime! Hovers, retinal scans etc. The lower the floor however, the less gadgets you get. They even go as far as futuristic drugs such as; halluci-lighters. Not only is there a whole new standard of electronic gadgets, another extraordinary thing going on in this book is the fact that the thousandth-floor tower is like a world in it’s own! In one tower is everybody’s apartments, a school, parks, shops, everything you could possible need is in just this one tower, how amazing would that be!?
I’m so excited to see how the characters will be in the sequel, but also sad that one character will no longer be with us due to falling off the tower, and excited all over again because a new character will be taking her place, so I’m looking forward to seeing what this character brings to the gang! Having 5 perspectives to read is different for all people; sometimes it’s too much to take in and sometimes it’s more fun to read all different POV’s. Even though there may be some characters you don’t particularly like, they all have a role in each others lives and the death. Trust me, if one POV get’s boring, just be a trooper and keep marching on because I promise you, it all adds up at the end and this is an ending you don’t want to miss!
