My stool creaks in the slate-gray silence. I stretch, then turn once again to stare at the partially finished canvas.
A single desk lamp bathes the picture in a soft light.

When she tries to uncover her mother's state of mind in her last weeks, she finds herself drawn into a secret world with a history she didn't know existed.

Suddenly, Meri is faced with a choice between accepting the "truth" or embracing a world the government doesn't want anyone to see--a world where words have the power to change the course of a country and where the wrong ones can get Meri killed.

This time, I think, as I shake out my newly short hair, colored with streaks of bright red and white, I am going to make the truth impossible for them to ignore.

This was a typical Charbonneau book, enjoyable, fast-paced, and predictable. Her stories don't differ too much from book to book but I do really enjoy them. I find them easy to read and for the most part well thought out and full of action. Charbonneau loves to take on HUGE topics like censorship and just scratch the surface when compared to other authors that also write about these huge topics.

Shay1097 I do think her books are well written and fun to read I just don't think they quite devel seep enough into the big topics she's tackling, I find her books read that early YA fiction did. I also think that's why I enjoy them so much they take me back to the early 2000s when I had just found YA books and the Hunger Games, Divergent, Matched, Delerium, and other series were breaking onto the scene. 3y
Shay1097 These books take me back to that time and proved quick easy and fun reads, but don't quite have the impacts of other YA books about similar topics. I will also say the timeline in this book did not make that much sense and jumped around a bit, I have a very hard time believing in one generation (from a grandfather to his grandson) the whole of the USA had lost an entire vocabulary. 3y
Shay1097 But honestly, this huge plot misstep did not detract from the story really. Overall I liked this book and will read the next one and will continue to read Charbonneau's books and enjoy them. 3y

This story is set in a futuristic Chicago that seems very similar to our own, but the reader soon realizes it is a supposedly environmentally conscious paperless society. The messages about control through censorship and technology made sense, but everything just happened too quickly and too easily for the main character to satisfy me. Additionally, it‘s the first in a series.

Daisey @TheAromaofBooks Also, first day of participating in new challenges and I already forgot to include tags in my review. 🤷‍♀️ This is my number 20 #BookSpin book that I happened to already have checked out from the library and ready to listen to today. (edited) 3y

A Fahrenheit 451 wannabe. Definitely YA—the kids are trying to save the world while the adults are either clueless or actively ruining everything. The main character goes from having no idea of what her murdered mother was involved in to being the only person with the answers within just a few days. The revolutionary group does a 180 from being suspicious of her to looking to her to run things overnight. Just not realistic, imho.

Texreader Yikes! Sounds like an editor needed to do a common-sense check on this one. 4y

I really liked the premise, paperless society to help the environment. However, this means that the government is able to control what you see and what you read on your tablets. The main character finds herself following her deceased mother's painting for clues in order to understand her mom better. What she finds is this underground secret society of librarians and books. The execution was lacking, and at times missed the point of the plot.

A dystopia where the government controls some words and language people use. A girl comes across a revolution and learns about freedom and also her family.

Joelle Charbonneau has done it again. Rumor has it that there‘s a sequel to this book coming at some point. I hope so! Like 1984, Verify is closer to reality than we care to admit. 😳

I received a copy of Verify in my Beacon Book Box!

I really don‘t know anything about this book. Have you read it? Any thoughts to share?

This is a scarily close to reality story. Really good.

New from a local Chicago/Illinois Author: More black and red, but I love the addition of the yellow. Plus, that almost open book and the flames...
