Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to sci-fi that asks uncomfortable moral questions rather than offering easy answers about what makes someone human.
You loved The Hunger Games but wanted something that digs deeper into bodily autonomy and institutional cruelty.
You're ready for a page-turner that doesn't pull punches about why teenagers might be considered disposable by society.

Maybe not for you if...

You need romance to care about characters, because these three are too busy surviving to fall in love.
You prefer uplifting stories about triumph, because this book is grim and doesn't offer comfortable resolution.
You're squeamish about medical horror or body modification, because the premise sits with that discomfort deliberately.

About this book

In a future society, unwanted teenagers are salvaged for their body parts through a process called unwinding. Three teens—Connor, a troublemaker whose parents want him gone; Risa, an orphan being unwound to reduce costs; and Lev, whose unwinding was planned from birth as part of his family's religious beliefs—meet by chance and travel cross-country together to survive. Desperate to stay alive, the three companions know that if they can reach their eighteenth birthday, they cannot be unwound. However, with every part of their bodies in demand by society, reaching that age proves extremely difficult. The novel explores questions about life, when it begins and ends, and what it means to be alive.
