Bio-chemistry whiz Everly Jax wants one thing: to know who her parents are. Raised with other repo kids in InKubator 9, she has pinned her hopes on Reunion Day, the annual event where sixteen-year-olds can meet or reunite with their parents. When her Reunion Day goes horribly awry, she and her pregnant friend Halla escape the Kube, accompanied by their friend Wyck who has his own reasons for … leaving.
In a world where rebuilding the population is critical to national survival, the Pragmatist government licenses all human reproduction, and decides who can–and must–have babies. The trio face feral dog packs, swamp threats, locust swarms, bounty hunters looking for “breeders,” and more dangers as they race to Amerada’s capital to find Halla’s soldier boyfriend before the Prags can repo her baby and force the girls into surrogacy service.
An unexpected encounter with Bulrush, an Underground Railroad for women fleeing to Outposts with their unlicensed babies, puts them in greater peril than ever. Everly must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to learn her biological identity–and deal with the unanticipated consequences of her decisions.

Bought the other two in the series after reading this. I love the distopian books and this one did not disappoint.
Liked all three parts of the series!!
If you liked Divergent and the Hunger Games, you will love this series.
Liked it enough to buy the 2nd & 3rd books in the trilogy.
Great book..
A dystopian world.. I like reading older/young teen books, nice to read a story without a sex scene every other page… Haven’t decided if I’ll read the 2nd and 3rd books, as I like to switch up the genre of books I read
