Mind-bending, fast-paced YA sci-fi with heart. In the year 2154, virtual reality is an enticing escape... but just for the privileged. For others, like sixteen-year-old Liv, reality means living by a contaminated bay that's sickened her little sister to the brink of death. Determined to find a cure, Liv ventures to a mysterious tropical island to infiltrate a tech empire owned by the world's most powerful man. When she encounters his son, Wolf, she's shocked. He isn't the shallow celebrity portrayed in the virtual world-he's an idealist with heart, committed to righting his father's wrongs. And when Wolf promises to help save her sister, he might just capture Liv's heart, too. But as Liv and Wolf confront a danger beyond anything they could have imagined, they must unravel the deadly scheme at the core of the tech empire. And their world starts to crumble . . . just as they're falling in love. Rooted in futuristic science and ancient wisdom, Virch explores truth and illusion, human and environmental rights, and the forces of love behind it all.

In 2154, society is even more fragmented than at present. Virtual reality holds an escape for those privileged enough to afford it, but for people like sixteen-year-old Liv, whose home is a contaminated coastal bay, reality is all they have. Liv's younger sister is desperately ill & needs treatment that only the richest can afford, so Liv applies to do an internship on an island owned by the world's most powerful man, Casper. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf The cure for her sister is available there & Liv plans to steal it, but when she arrives, Liv realises that something isn't right on the island paradise. A fellow intern, Wolf, turns out to be Casper's prodigal son, but he has no intention of reconciling with his father, rather he is there to right the wrongs that have been happening on his father's watch. Wolf & Liv are attracted to each other but can they trust each other?
