Convince us to read the book: People should read the book because it is a great book. It it brings up important topics that are relevant. It also has romance.
Memorable or Forgettable: The book was very up front about practically everything wrong in the world that I find distasteful like corruption, messed up gender rules, and certain traditions. Whenever I find that in a book, I usually love it.
Cover: The cover that I saw intrigued me but, at first, I thought it would be a trashy romance (offense definitely intended(not to the Summer Prince)).
Age Range: 14 through 18 and up

Popularity: 4P Broad general teen appeal
Additional Comments: Amazing!!!! More people should top ten it!
