i feel like the cover gives off an older woman look than a high schooler, but the cover sometimes doesn't match anyway. I've only read the sample, but there's definitely something interesting here. being a fan of his work since the Uglies when I read it in 5th grade YEARS ago and then going on to read the next 3 books on my own, I have high hopes for this series already!
