This book was definately not what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's hit and miss for me with Elizabeth Scott, but this one was definately a hit.
There are two parallel universes; the world we know today, and another dystopian society universe. Ava wakes up in our universe, with no memory of where she's at or how she got there. The memories she does have are those from the other universe. A place where she came from the creche, the lowest rank in society. She remembers being in love with a boy named Morgan who is high ranked in their dystopian society, so they are not allowed to be together. Morgan is contacting her in our universe, but he doesn't belong there, and the longer he stays, the closer he drifts to becoming nonexistent in either universe.
Should Ava stay in the universe she doesn't remember, where she has a mother who loves her and freedom to be anything she wants to be, or should she go back with Morgan to a society where she will spend her life running to be with her one true love? What is more important in life: freedom or true love?
Normally Elizabeth Scott's darker novels don't appeal to me, but this one was so clever, and so captivating, that once I started it, I just couldn't put it down. With the dystopian society fad, this is definately a must read.
