Lena Halloway's mother, Annabel, supposedly committed suicide when Lena was only six years old. That's the lie that Lena grew up believing, but the truth is very different. As a rebellious teenager, Annabel ran away from home and straight into the man she knew she was destined to marry. The world was different then—the regulations not as stringent, the cure only a decade old. Fast forward to the present, and Annabel is consigned to a dirty prison cell, where she nurtures her hope of escape and scratches one word over and over into the walls: Love.But Annabel, like Lena, is a fighter. Through chapters that alternate between her past and present, Annabel reveals the story behind her failed cures, her marriage, the births of her children, her imprisonment, and, ultimately, her daring escape.
My rating: 4 stars
Lauren Oliver did it again. Too bad that this is just a short story, but everything was explained so clearly.
How Lena's mother escaped, cured, loved and what not. But just like the previous series, This is an open ended book too.
The book includes the epilogue for Requiem. I was hesitant to read it but i ended scrolling the pages until the end. I was quite surprise by the introduction!
