The year is 2032, sixteen y
ears after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her.
Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life. (Summary by Goodreads)
Dystopia, romance, difficult decisions, and possible human trafficking? Awesome. I have high hopes for a strong female protagonist. If the character of Eve is well done, this is going to be superb. Superb.
Eve comes out Oct. 4, 2011.
Yay! This is my pick too for this week: www.fragmentsoffiction.com/

I've seen this one a lot lately. I'm not a huge dystopian fan but I might give it a try.

The relationships between the characters were emotionally charged and believable. I loved the dynamic between Eve and many of the secondary characters, especially the boys Silas and Benny. It was almost a "Wendy meets the Lost Boys" kind of situation, with the boys so desperately needing a mother figure.
