so-soOur main protagonist is Ana. She's 18 and lives in a future where society is pretty much controlled by the pharmaceutical industry and the people are split into two main groups.
Those with mental health issues are outcasts who are registered with the government and are force fed medication 'for their own good'. Their world is unsafe, unstable and damn right hard.
Meanwhile the 'pure' people live in a world full of luxury and safety.
pickI'm kicking myself for how long this was on my TBR and I just got to reading it!
I was able to read this fairly uninterrupted at work and I was hooked within the first chapter and just enjoyed the brisk pacing, characters and world building that pulled me and was a great read as I turned page after page.
I just placed a hold for the next book at the library! 😁

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)
It started off a little slow, but the first volume of “Fruits Basket” was interesting as it introduced each of the characters (and their related zodiac) and the story itself was surprisingly heartwarming. I plan on reading the next volume soon!
1. Yes, probably 1000. (We were homeschoolers.)
2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I had no idea the book (and movie) were so good.

pickApril‘s selection for my kids‘ fantasy book club at the library. It was my favorite when I was little, so I was eager to see how it would be received by today‘s generation, 30 years later. It dawned a gorgeous, sunny day (after a month full of rain), so I had only one attendee. Lucky for me, Maeve is my (secret) favorite! She LOVED the book, which was validating. If I‘m being honest, much of my taste today can be traced back exactly this far.👇🏻
