Starters by Lissa Price
Release Date: March 13, 2012

In a world ravaged by war and genocide, becoming someone else is now possible. Sixteen-year-old Callie discovers the Body Bank where teens rent their bodies to seniors who want to be young again. When her neurochip malfunctions, she wakes up in the mansion of her rich renter and finds she is going out with a senator’s grandson. It’s a fairy-tale new life, until she discovers her renter’s deadly plan.

Why I can't wait?
This concept reminds me a little of the show Dollhouse, which I absolutely love. People purchase or rent someone for a purpose or experience, and Starters sounds like a more permanent version. I think this plus the dystopian element will be amazing. I can't wait to see what Lissa Price has in store!

    Wow! When I first saw the cover I was a little freaked out. But then as I stared at it, I couldn't help but wonder what this book is about. I have never heard of it before. It sounds really really good. Awesome pick!
