There's a pill (Leata) in this dystopian novel's world, that can change your mood to happy all day, every day. Most of the world is on it, except for a few rebellious people. It's up to become mandatory, and Tom's father recently died. He refuses to take Leata, just as his father did. However, his ex-bff, Hope, that lives next door practically inhales it. As she looks at the world through rose-colored glasses, Tom is trying to figure out his father's death. Was it really a suicide, or was it a murder? And what's in Leata anyways?
This book was great, and really made me think. As a girl with depression, if there was a happy pill, would I take it, or would I want to feel things other than always so happy? Does depression and sadness serve a purpose in us, or is it true misery that we could do without? Are we weird not feeling happy all the time, or should we truly crave that?
I honestly couldn't put this book down, and read it in about three days. I was also working, or it'd have been faster. The imagery and everything was just great. It was well-written, and I also loved the cover art.
In other words, definitely read this, you guys!
Rating: 7/7 happy pills
