Relation Supposing Books Believe (Rules, #1)
Seventeen-year-old Caspa is far from normal, which puts her in great danger in the conformist dystopia that is Astro City. When she wakes up after getting her memory swiped, she only knows the three Rules of Astro City:Believe, Beware, and Remain.
She doesn’t know how she got there, where she came from, or even who her parents are. You are not allowed to know anything other than what you are told. But Caspa has the vague feeling that something is wrong, and so does her roommate, the incredibly handsome Rum. Together the two try to plot to break out of the paralyzing city, but their escape could cost them their lives...

I loved it. I hope a sequel is in the making because this book is just too good to stop now. I'd recommend it to anyone. Great dystopian. Has some typos but just overlook those because its worth the read.Well, this was good enough that I finished the book, which is a compliment since it dosn't take much to get me to quit a book these days. But this book really could have benefitted from an editor or two or three. Several details (a lot, really) of the worldbuilding didn't make sense and some plot points should have been more fully developed or explained. With polish and experience, though, this writer has promise.
Lisa Alfonso grew up in the small town of Montgomery, Texas, only to move to the slightly bigger city of Huntsville, Texas to attend college. Lisa is currently majoring in English at Sam Houston State University with hopes of becoming a book editor. When she isnt hovering over a textbook or immersing herself in a novel, Lisa is either writing, waitressing, or hanging out with her half-alien
The story was solid and kept me reading (it was also a quick read; it took me only about 5 hours). There were believable and likable characters. However, there were many typos and a few errors with time consistency, but those can be overlooked. It was also quite reminiscent of The Hunger Games. While the ending is an obvious setup for a sequel, it felt a bit abrupt and unsatisfying.
I was torn between giving this 2 or 3 stars. I would prefer to make it a 2 1/2 star rating. The story was solid and kept me reading (it was also a quick read; it took me only about 5 hours). There were believable and likable characters. However, there were many typos and a few errors with time consistency, but those can be overlooked. It was also quite reminiscent of The Hunger Games.

I really liked this book. Yes, there were a lot of typos, but the story kept me interested and left me wanting more. I can't wait for the next book to come out.
You know, for a free e-book; this was really good. The story line was interesting and kept me wanting to read more and the main characters we're pretty relatable. One thing though: a huge amount of typos, but still a very good dystopian read.
