My big thing with Ally Condie's books is that I love the concept, but I just feel meh on the final execution and writing. I love the idea of using memories to get people back, but I just felt lackluster when I was reading the first look. I'm not a fan of the name July as a character, so maybe that also took me out of the story. I'm willing to give it a chance, but this would be a library book not a I must have this book. I don't trust my past with Ally Condie.
