Panic

At first I thought: “Oh, it will be like the Hunger Games, won't it?”
Then I read it and when I finished it I though “Wow, this was nothing like the Hunger Games!”

The book is written from two POVs: Heather and Dodge. Both are very realistic characters, flawed and struggling in their own way. Then there's Bishop and Natalie, Heather's best friends. Natalie is the kind of girl that I would never get along with in real life, but I found that I sort of liked her in the book.

Panic (the game) was cruel and merciless and very interesting to read about. And wow, do I hate Heather's mother...

Anyway, very rambly review, but read it! This was my first Lauren Oliver book (omg I know) and I definitely want to check out more of her books.
