The Testing is a must read.

*I do not own the picture above*

I just finished The Testing and holy shit. It's amazing. It's set in a dystopian world "the seven stages of war" left it a complete barren wasteland. Those that survived started to rebuild and create a new civilization. Well fast forward a hundred years and that where the story begins. Every year the top of the graduating class from each colony are chosen for testing. If they pass they go onto the University to study and become a future leader and it focuses on Cia a girl from the Five Lakes Coloney. She was chosen as one of the people to go to the testing. Cia's dad has gone through the testing before and went to the university. And the advice he gives her is to not trust anyone. And I'm telling you the story gets so intense. I honestly had to put it down because i was so scared to read what happens next. Especially when it involved Tomas a boy Cia has know her whole life. The book is full of twists and turns. It's so hard to put it down. I literally fell in love with it. I read it in one day. Reading the hardships and challenges Cia faces was so exciting and thrilling. It really feels like you're there you just get so absorbed. I definetly recommend this book. The best thing is it's a trilogy. I cannot wait to read the rest.

As long as I'm with you and you aren't able to communicate with the other Testing candidates, there's no reason to say no.
