A sharp and unflinchingly honest journey of self-discovery.June Chu has always been the "just good enough" girl. Good enough to line the shelves with third-place trophies and steal secret kisses from her AP Bio partner, Rhys. But not good enough to meet her mother’s unrelenting expectations, or get Rhys to commit.While June’s mother insists she follow in her (perfect) sister’s footsteps and get a (full-ride) violin scholarship, June doesn’t see the point in trying too hard if she’s destined to fall short anyway. Instead, she focuses her efforts on making her relationship with Rhys "official."But after her methodically planned, tipsily executed scheme explodes on the level of a nuclear disaster, she flings herself into a new relationship with a guy who’s not allergic to the word girlfriend.As the line between sex and love blurs, and pressure to map out her entire future threatens to burst, June will have to decide on whose terms she’s going to live her life—even if it means fraying her relationship with her mother beyond repair.

Matthew Black Jr. lives in a world governed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where the motto "Health is hope!" can be heard at the end of all mandatory propaganda. Matt could forgive the transparent corniness of it all if he weren't completely hopeless and his best friend, William Patterson, wasn't far from healthy. Children are inspected yearly to ensure the maximum genetic fitness of the population. Those with even the most minor ticks are executed publicly, only to be met with thunderous applause from a crowd of eager spectators. Since the biowarfare that ended and started it all, CDC-accredited doctors are the most revered and feared profession. Matt has bigger problems than the CDC. Always has. His drunk father makes the top of that list. Between that man, the crap laws, Will's diabetes, and his own quick temper, Matt is always on the brink of a fight. He's crafty and far from shy, some say blunt, but Matt knows how to survive. Although not always by much.

When the Empire starts taking an interest in them, the lives they had before are shattered, and they are left scrambling to find ways not only to preserve precious relationships but also ways to stay alive.
