This book had me at "underwater utopia". I am so excited to see the world that J.A. has created for this story and I can't wait to find out all of the ways it isn't what Evelyn has always thought it was. I'm also a huge fan of stories where the main character can't remember or doesn't have her own memories. I think it's so cool to read about their path back to remembering who they really are. Renegade sounds so original and has so much great story potential. I can't wait to read it :0)
I LOVE the sound of this and so can't wait to read it! Thank you for sharing! :)

Yes! I'm so so so excited for this one. I love main characters who've lost their memories too. It's just so cool to feel like you and the main character are on the same page.
