"The protagonist is Callie, who has a an amazing adventure. There was a spore war that changed a lot of kids life. the only ones alive were eighteen and below,and sixty-five and above because they had the vaccination. Here parents died and it was just her and her brother. She lived on the streets as an unclaimed minor, a child who doesn't have a grandparent, for a year. Her brother is sick and needs money for him to stay alive. she found out about this program that gives you a surplus of money for sleeping, but it was much more than that. She would lend enders, older folk, her body so that they could be young again. She had already done two rentals but her third one was when everything went wrong.Her confusion made a great adventure and her love life made it just a bit more interesting. There definitely will have to be a sequel or else i will cry forever. This book was very well written and made you not want to stop. This book is just as good as Cinder or maybe better. Thank you Lissa Price for making a book that made my life at least three percent better."
