In a perfect world, what is there left to fear? A chilling and thought-provoking sci-fi novel from New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman.
A dark, gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death.
In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ("gleaned") by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes' apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn the art of killing and understand the necessity of what they do.
Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe's apprentice and as Citra and Rowan come up against a terrifyingly corrupt Scythedom, it becomes clear that the winning apprentice's first task will be to glean the loser.
When 16-year-old Eliza Lin’s personal essay about meeting the love of
her life goes viral, she gets everything she’s ever wanted: the
approval of her new classmates, a rare internship opportunity at her
favourite publisher, and a devoted online following who think her
relationship is #couplegoals.
The only problem? Eliza made the whole essay up.
In fact, Eliza's never even been in a relationship before, let alone in
love. All good writing is lying, right? Desperate to cover up the
truth, Eliza makes a deal with her classmate Caz: she’ll help him write
his college applications if he poses as her boyfriend. But Caz plays
the role of boyfriend a bit too well...
But Eliza's carefully crafted image begins to unravel as the
relationship with Caz becomes more and more real. Can she still follow
her dreams if it means breaking her own heart?
