We get brief glimpses of the lives that inhabit The Tower, mostly the upperTower (or highliers) where the wealthy reside, and I feel like the rest of the building’s inhabitants were sidelined. But unfortunately we don’t really get a clear view of how the Tower was constructed and how the floors are laid out. The Tower shown at the front cover of this book is the biggest, if not only, setting throughout the book. The thing that was hugely missing from this book was the details. Nonetheless, there are still elements of the book I disliked, so I’ll begin with those first before I tell you what I liked about this book. Which is a great surprise if you know me. Which is why I normally avoid YA contemporaries.

It is categorized as YA because of the age of the characters, and I usually have my own reservations when it comes to teenage YA. Now, to be honest I had very low expectations with this book. I was intrigued to see how the future would be different than today and what the rich kids would be up to. I’ve read some positive reviews about the book and its futuristic elements as well as combining Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars vibes into it.
