Straight up, you can’t trust the elderly, this is an important life lesson I learned from Lissa Price’s exciting debut Starters. Like, I hate to compare books, but I feel like Starters might be 2012’s Divergent. The two books aren’t alike plot wise, but they both have that up all night quality. I mean, I […]
