A dystopian novel set in a near-future in which the population is segregated into Pures who have been diagnosed as free from any potential mental illness and Crazies who have not, The Glimpse is the story of Ana, the daughter of the man who invented the diagnostic tests that determine everyone's fat...
Ana to me was a believable character. There was no pretension of noble motives in attempting to save Jasper, especially when their relationship became delicate in his captivity. While Ana set out for Jasper, she also set out for herself. I appreciated that a lot. Also, she had the maturity of an old...

The storyline:This is the first dystopian YA book I’ve ever read and I was lucky enough to have it as my ...
The Glimpse is one of those novels that I anticipated for so long, downloaded the moment I got the approval email from NetGalley, and dove into headfirst...then something somewhere went off the rails. I struggled through the first 50 pages, and feeling that something was just off somehow, put aside...
