Branded Irrelevant, Mallory is cut off from everything she knows.
Irrelevants are criminals, banished to live in the old city. But in the wasteland between the new city and the old, she stumbles on Cristan.
He's bitter, paranoid, and possibly crazy...
He may also be right about everything.
To survive, Mallory must figure out who to trust, and embrace the behaviour she's been taught to deny.
The answers may lie in a place even the most rebellious Irrelevants won't go.
"An addictive adventure story with a Jekyll and Hyde flavour." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"A riveting YA dystopian romance that hits all the familiar beats in fresh ways, and does a great job with neurodiversity." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The author's diverse characters in this well-written story are all perfectly developed. I was thoroughly entertained on all levels of this fast-paced novel. Irrelevant, leaves you wanting more at the end with a cliffhanger that reminded me of Terry Brooks. I'm hooked. Brava!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Review:
3.5 Out of 5 Stars
Genre: Dystopian, Mystery, Romance, Survival, Suspense, Teen--
On their 18th birthday, all citizens are tested to determine their worth, the higher the assigned number the more important they are to society. When Mallory goes for her testing on her birthday, something goes wrong and she is deemed irrelevant, not wanted in society. Mallory has always had to repress who she really is, but it seems that the truth has come out. Kicked out of the only world she has ever known, Mallory is now living outside the walls with the other irrelevants. The world is full of secrets and Mallory is right in the middle of it all.
This was a really interesting concept for a dystopian story, something that could actually happen (which is scary). The world rates people and gives them jobs based on the ratings, but it can just as easily cast people out for flaws- which can be seen as anything. The thought of people who are different as being seem as lesser or repressed is terrifying and the author's realistic portrayal of autism added a new layer or realism to me. This is the first time that have read a book with this type of character so it added an entirely new perspective to the dystopian world.
Overall this was an interesting world but it cut off in the middle of the action with no answers to be found, so anticipate needing the rest of the books in the series to get all the story and answers!
