Review: XY - Shanta Everington - June 2014

Are you a fan of the Dystopian genre ? Loved Thumped and Bumped by Megan McCafferty ? Imagine a world where babies aren't born a specific gender , a world where the gender is assigned to them at birth ? Could you imagine growing up and not knowing whether you were supposed to be a girl or a boy ? There are some households that rebel against this system and are letting their children decide when the time is right to what they want to be. For fifteen year old Jesse, that time is coming up fast and she has to decide whether she will stay a girl or become a boy and she better do it quick as if the government finds out about her , they will come for Jesse and her family. XY held an interesting premise as I wondered how it would work with puberty and hormones and how you would really know what sex you are supposed to be. The book however for me , was a tad slow and hard to get into but if you are fans of Dystopian and also interested in Gender studies as I could see this book becoming a resource for those studying gender studies at University level. Then check out and grab your very own copy of XY by Shanta Everington. This is also one of those novels, that I could perceive that everyone who reads it will have a different view.
