The plot starts off with Miriam, who had these dreams of the man she'd marry. She grew up living under the dictation of Daniel, the supposedly guidance on their path to Righteousness. Miriam, who has never visited the Outside (basically out of New Jerusalem) is brought up to believe that everything Daniel said was true, until she was married to another man, but not of her dreams. (Literally, she dreamt about Caleb.)

This is told in dual-perspectives, Miriam and Caleb, the man of her dreams as they try to navigate and plough through the lines between what is ture and what is not. What if everything you've been told to believe is not true? Even if you know it is false, what does it take to stand up and speak out?
This book is kind of like Divergent? But at the same time, it is so different from it. I'd say this is also a little dystopian-ish? It tackles so many different topics, freedom and speaking out. This is truly such an extraordinary book to read! I also learnt so much about the Bible and the religion itself, this is truly a pwerful and eye-opening read to anyone who is interested. And also, it has a great pacing too!

Miriam and Caleb are such strong characters, they truly are fearless and have changed from a tiny, timid mouse to a full-grown lion. This is truly an empowering read in so many different ways and I would not have it another way.

Overall, all of you nee this book in your life! This will definitely be on top of your favorites this year! I hope all of you can pick this up when it is released in all good bookstores!
