5.0

Veronica Roth is an autobuy author for me, so when the chance to win a signed ARC of Poster Girl popped up from William Morrow Books, I took it! I cannot describe how excited I was when I found out I won (there was lots of dancing and screaming)! 

Poster Girl feels like Divergent all grown up. I don’t mean that in any kind of negative way, but it explores the sins of a child through her grown-up eyes in a dystopian world that exists after an uprising. So, if you’ve read Divergent and have since grown up (like myself), you’ll know what I mean if you read this. 

I found this story to be the perfect standalone and discovered a number of insightful kernels that I promptly page-marked. Despite outwardly dealing with problems only imaginable in our world, Poster Girl speaks to underlying universalities of the human experience. 

Poster Girl is absolutely five stars for me and I highly recommend it to any dystopian lovers. I’d also recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adult or NA fiction that deals with internal conflict and a bit of mystery.
