Girls with Sharp Sticks, Book 1

De: Suzanne Young

Narrado por: Caitlin Davies

Westworld meets The Handmaid’s Tale in this start to a thrilling, subversive near-future series from New York Times best-selling author Suzanne Young about a girls-only private high school that is far more than it appears to be.

Some of the prettiest flowers have the sharpest thorns.

The girls of Innovations Academy are beautiful and well-behaved - it says so on their report cards. Under the watchful gaze of their guardian, they receive a well-rounded education that promises to make them better. Obedient girls, free from arrogance or defiance. Free from troublesome opinions or individual interests.

But the girls’ carefully controlled existence may not be quite as it appears. As Mena and her friends uncover the dark secrets of what’s actually happening there - and who they really are - the girls of Innovations Academy will learn to fight back.

Bringing the trademark plot twists and high-octane drama that made Program a best-selling and award-winning series, Suzanne Young launches a new series that confronts some of today's most pressing ethical questions.

Best new YA series so far this year

At times very very realistic. Time flies. Get excited to meet these brave special girls.

Good story but very predictable

I'm not going to give away any spoilers but the big final reveal at the end of the book... I definitely called that within the first couple chapters. Overall it was a good story and kept me interested and it was still worth it even though it's easy to predict what's going to happen next.

loved the book!!!

loved the book, it had me on edge at all times wondering whats going to happen next! was sick too my at first but i realized why later!

loved it!

beautiful book that triggered, angered, inspired and had me holding my breath for s fee secs at a time. Its thr lesson every young girl needs to learn when entering adulthood

A fun must-read (for anyone who has been a girl)

If anyone has ever told you to sit up straight, eat less, smile more, cover up, or adhere to any of the other numerous societal “norms” forced on human females, you need to read this.

Soo good

It definitely Kept my interest. Keeps you wondering. Highly recommended. On to the next book.

A Solid YA SciFi Novel

I honestly couldn't stop listening. If you're into science fiction and dystopia fiction, it's a solid pick. The writing is a little awkward here and there, but over all really engaging so I hardly noticed.

absolutely fantastic. 100/10

if you liked the uglies/pretties/etc series you’ll love this. this was gripping all the way through. so good!

Suzanne Young is amazing

I have read Suzanne Young's books since The Program. I fell in love right away, the way you can create the story in your head, painting the perfect picture. This is another amazing story. The narrator has become a favorite of mine. Havent read a story from Suzanne Young, this is the perfect start.

liked the book, not really the voice

I really liked the story a lot, but I'm happy the book was short since I didn't care for how the voice reading was done. kind of annoying after awhile. Still a good story, and I'm looking forward to book 2.
