Wow. I have just finished the very last page of this extraordinary book. I expected a dystopian novel with a dark and sinister twist, but I got so much more than that. Yes this is a work of fiction, but there are some very real and incredibly important things you will learn about our history when reading this book.

Elena Fairchild is a teacher at an elite school in a system where schools are separated into three colours silver, green and yellow. Good, fair and poor. Every month all students and teachers have to sit though a gruelling test which will determine their Q number (quotient) How high this number is will determine which school you attend/teach at, and ultimately your place in society.
When one of Elena's children fails the test and is sent to a yellow school, Elena decides to intentionally fail her own test to go with her. What Elena finds there is more harrowing than you could imagine.

This book is so well written. It's intelligent without being pretentious. I didn't guess where the storyline would lead and the ending really suprised me. There's not much I can say without spoiling this one or giving too much away, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's fast paced, scary and emotional, but it's also hopeful. It reminds you of the importance of diversity and why we need all the colours of the rainbow in our world.

Thank you to @hqstories for having me on the blogger day.

I’ve read some cracking books so far this year and we’re not even half way through! Q has now taken the number one spot on my list of books I’d happily recommend. Utterly utterly terrifying but at the same time highly addictive and deeply moving. Inspired by the eugenics movement and the rise of Hitler, this novel showcases the horrifying effects when power falls into the wrong hands. Imagine a future where your whole life is governed by your Q (quotient) score in a society where only the elite are wanted and you will find yourself slap bang in the middle of Elena and Freddie’s nightmare.
Absolutely everyone in this dystopian society
is given a Q score from conception through to adulthood with schools segregated into silver, green and yellow categories. So many variables affect your Q score from income, marital status and of course intellect. Even teachers aren’t exempt from this system and as a child to find yourself the recipient of the yellow card means you’ll be shipped off away from your family into state schools which are little more than prisons, forever relegated to the lowest echelons of society. Dr Eleanor Fairchild is married to Malcolm (under secretary in the department of education and therefore in a very powerful position) and has two daughters;Anne,a first class student in a silver school and Freddie, struggling in a green school. This powerful and thought provoking novel centres around what happens when Freddie fails her monthly test and is bused off to a yellow school in Kansas. How will her mother react to such a heartbreaking situation? Is there a chance that she could fight the system and take back some control? In her own words,”It’s too easy to think of yourself as the one who stands up when everyone else sits down, but I wonder if I have it in me to be that selfless”. Such powerful words embody the whole theme of this novel.
Within the first few pages a feeling of anxiousness descended on me, finding Elena and Freddie’s story so disturbing but so compelling that I just had to keep reading. I couldn’t understand why Elena had married such a monster although her backstory as a geeky student, exempt from the popular circle provides plenty of reasons for wanting to take back some kind of control. I think what is so particularly terrifying is how easy a society like the one imagined here could evolve. Isn’t it human nature to want to fit in, to ridicule those that may be slightly different or not so capable intellectually?? Is it human nature to think that if we’re well educated, wealthy, married, with equally bright offspring then somehow we’re superior to others and less likely to find ourselves in less than ideal circumstances??Basically it’s survival of the fittest, there is no room for anything less than perfection and in my opinion we are all guilty (or have been) of this type of behaviour on some level, beginning in childhood when deciding who’s going to be on our sports team or leaving someone out of a playground game. I can’t imagine how stressful this must be living every day in fear, never ever able to relax and I was totally willing Elena to break free.
Reading this made me think of the privileged yummy mummies at the school gate with their precious poppets, smugly believing nothing bad can befall their darling offspring or ruin their indulgent luxurious lifestyles; that somehow they are immune from the grittier side of life and have no time for anyone who doesn’t fit into their mould. These are the people who will advocate for the type of stringent regulations imposed in Dr Fairchild’s wold as long as they don’t fall foul of them.
To quote,”it makes me wonder whether we’re born with bigotry in our blood or if hatred has to be taught’ really sums up the storyline here and Malcolm’s character who is so easy to despise.
We claim to be far more tolerant and inclusive in today’s world but the historical reminders here from the past shouldn’t ever be forgotten. I liked how the author used Dr Fairchild’s family background to drive home this message and it really is mind blowing how Q isn’t a million miles away from actual reality although you’d like to think history couldn’t repeat itself.
The ending is deeply moving and this is one storyline that will stay with me, Elena such an inspiring character.
An outstanding piece of fiction that deserves to be read. If you only read one book this year then Q is the one!! Perfect too for any book club discussions.
My thanks as always to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read.

What a rollercoaster! After reading this book I didn’t know if I had to be angry, sad, ashamed, disappointed… Because this is not an easy read, is addictive and impossible to put down, but with an emotional charge that will hunt me for a long time.
I have no idea how the author, Christina Dalcher, writes these amazing and powerful books, they are all portraits of broken societies which have so many similar points to our present that will make any reader terrified of what possible future awaits us.
Q is a fiction world, where everyone is measured by their IQ (since their are conceived), depending on it they will be assigned to a school that will make their future bright or a hell. Elena Fairchild, the main character, has two daughters, one who is the top of the class while for the other her marks are degrading each month till the day in which has to be taken away. Elena will have to make the most difficult decision of her life, continue with her “perfect” family (her older daughter and husband) or try to rescue her younger daughter from her horrible future. This will not be an easy choice, but one that will change her life forever.
This is a book that will stay with you for a long time, it’s edgy and provocative, makes you think of your acts as a person and how you treat the people around you. We never think that all of our actions have consequences, and something that we say when we are in a bad mood can affect someone deeper than we think. This book is a reminder of karma, what we do is what we get… so maybe it’s time we start changing our way to act, don’t you think?
I loved VOX, the previous book by Christina Dalcher, but Q has blown my mind! Ready to enter to the Q world?

Well this book certainly made me sit up and take notice. Every sentence was thought provoking as the story created a future world striving for the perfect race. With echoes harking back to darker days and the past threatening to repeat certain actions, this story gripped me on every level. It made me uncomfortable and uncertain about the human race and left me with a million unanswered questions, which is the sign of a great book.

Is a world filled with an elite race the perfect place to reside? How far are people willing to go to achieve this? Q asks these questions and many more as the story unfurls at a disturbing pace. I think what moved me the most was the anchor to past atrocities as the narrative revealed elements of true history that ran my blood cold.

The character each filled their roles to perfect precision and I felt love and pure revulsion in equal measure as martyrs and monsters showed their true inner selves. I can't go into too much detail regarding the narrative as too many spoilers would no doubt show their faces and this is definitely one book that needs to unfurl exactly how the author intended it to....but know from me that it is every bit worth the journey.

Q is a mental agility test of the tallest order and I'm still reeling from the experience. I can't recommend this book enough and I predict all great things to come.

I read VOX last year, and I loved it so much that it became the initial inspiration for my Masters dissertation, therefore, when offered the opportunity to read Q, I jumped at the chance.

Another dystopian world, Q focuses on an America in which a social hieracrchy is established by way of Q; a set of tests and algorithms which denote intelligence. It’s an intriguing concept, and quite easy to see how this world could have come into being. It feels somehow even closer to reality than VOX, particularly as I have often thought that a more child centred education system; that being a system which focuses on the aptitudes, talents and interests of the child, would be far more successful than a one for all approach. My thought process has always been based on seeing children who struggle in an academic setting, forced to sit through classes they have no interest in nor which will serve them in any capacity in the real world. So many children are made to useless because they struggle with academic subjects, when very often they excel elsewhere. Talents which aren’t tested and don’t contribute to statistics, but should be encouraged and allowed to flourish.

I digress…however, I found it incredibly easy to see how this world could exist, and how the path to where this particular novel ended up could be taken if the wrong people with the wrong intentions took power.

In Q, Elena Fairchild, a teacher at one of the most elite schools, and mother of two daughters, is devastated when her youngest daughter fails to achieve the required mark in her Q test and is sent away to a state school. Scared for her daughter, she then fails her own test in order to be closer to her, setting her on a path of discovery as to what lies behind the facade of perfection.

I found Q to be an enjoyable and immersive read, if not quite as impactful as VOX. The main character, Elena was a complex character, although not one I particularly liked. Her journey was an interesting one, particularly when coupled with the parallels of her heritage. I’d love to have read this as a book club read, as her character development is something I’d really appreciate discussion about with a group setting. I found her to be fascinating, a real product of her experiences and the world in which she lived.

If you enjoyed VOX, it is highly likely that you will also enjoy Q and stylistically, there are many similarities between the two books. For her third novel, I’d love for the author to dare to be a little more different. I really enjoy her style of writing and her ability to tell a compelling story – I find myself very easily drawn in – but the parallels between the two books ran a little too close so that a third novel in the same vein would dilute the expectation somewhat. However, hugely enjoyable novel in its own right. Christina Dalcher is without doubt an author I would recommend.

After reading Vox, I was interested in seeing how this book played out, but I knew it was going to be very tricky. I found Vox, particularly to begin with, very intense. It hit a lot of nerves for me and I felt furious reading it – at points wondering whether I would even finish it. I expected a similar thing from Q, but worse. Vox is a dystopia looking at the oppression of women; Q deals with eugenics.

So, trigger warnings a-plenty here. Ableism, homophobia, xenophobia, misogyny, and details of some of the horrific things done in the name of eugenics and racial purity. Lots of throwbacks to WWII, naturally, but never forgetting that the Nazi party didn’t operate in a global background, and there were eugenicists around the world who worked with them.

The structure is very similar to Vox, and I think Dalcher’s strength, or preferred mode of working perhaps, is in placing the reader in the setting of the ‘everywoman’. A middle-class mother, early 40s, who is just trying to get by in the world as it is. Dalcher merely takes something which is currently rumbling below the surface in society and extrapolates it further, into its most extreme version, and demonstrates how easily things can change. The same is true here, but there are differences. The current system of tiered schools for children has been in place a lot longer, Q scores have been around for a while, and the protagonist’s husband was integral in their introduction, and in running the department which oversees them in children.

The Q is the score which dictate’s a person’s value. It’s based on academic attainment, the status of their parents, their race, sexuality, behaviour… It all contributes. Be late for work, lose Q points. Call in sick, lose Q points. It’s not clear how you gain Q points, but if you lose points, so do members of your family, because they’re related to you. Tainted by association. Children and teachers are tested monthly to see whether they still reach the levels required for the elite silver schools, whether they’ll be demoted to the average green schools, or whether they’ll be sent to the yellow state residential schools and never seen again. The school you go to dictates the professions you are eligible for, and the tests begin from kindergarten. Q says which queues you can stand in when shopping, where you can eat, what their life holds.

I was surprised that this didn’t make me as angry as Vox to begin with. I think part of that might have been that I was expecting it this time – I went into Vox essentially blind – and part of it was that… nothing in this book was really made up. All of the horrors and social arrangements, these have been done before in history. Perhaps it might be shocking if you were ignorant of the atrocities which have happened before. Perhaps it might also be shocking if you hadn’t looked at society today and gone “is this what people in 1930s Europe felt like, as the world went mad around them?” As I’m at the stage of asking that question approximately once a fortnight, particularly when I look at the politics around the world, this book seemed less of a shocking warning and more of a bleak prediction.

Perhaps the only bit I struggled with was the way abortion was handled. Yes, the reality is that basically all birth control exists because of Nazi supporters and eugenicists. Marie Stopes was pretty awful, and so was Margaret Sanger (Sanger is even briefly mentioned in the book), there’s no denying that they had ulterior motives behind their work. Q looks at abortion from a largely eugenics perspective – pregnant women have their babies tested for Q ratings, so they know whether it’s worth continuing with the pregnancy. If the Q score is too low, they’re encouraged to terminate. It’s hard to know what elements impact a Q of a foetus, but things like the mother’s age are taken into account – if a mother is over 30, the lower the Q score is likely to be, so they’re encouraged to end the pregnancy. The reality is that yes, this is currently happening to some extent around the world today. Gender-based abortion is a real issue in many cultures, and many campaigners believe that testing for disabilities before birth, such as Downs Syndrome, is innately eugenicist. BUT there is also no denying that women have a right to be in control of their own fertility and their own bodies. Given the current volatile situation when it comes to abortion rights in the US (where the book is set), I felt a little uncomfortable in a book which almost exclusively looked at this element in terms of racial purity. One abortion for ‘normal’ reasons is mentioned, but it’s almost in passing. Perhaps this wouldn’t be such a big problem had the book not clearly been trying to put across a message, a warning. It’s a nuance which troubled me.

The strength of this, though, is in the way it shows how some turns of phrase or thought can worm their way into your consciousness without you even realising. The idea of being “fit” to have children, or that smart people should receive a reward for working harder, or that some people are only suited to a certain type of work – it’s all the casual rhetoric that can be found in almost any society. Add to that the casual cruelty of children, but taken further and embedded into every day life. There’s also an element of the American Dream narrative in there: if you work hard and you’re smart, you can succeed and do well in society. With the proviso that is currently unspoken, that you can do this if you’re the right sort of person, the right race, the right upbringing.

Perhaps the most spine-chilling part, for me, is where it can all be traced back to. The smug intellectual superiority of a very bitter person, the kind of person you find trolling on reddit or running abhorrent twitter accounts. The Infowars people, the Breitbart people. Those people exist, now, and social media companies aren’t taking them seriously, goverments are only just starting to.

This book didn’t upset me because I’m already upset. Because I’ve already looked at society today and seen the parallels. Perhaps, though, it will make more people look at it. The US title is a nice play on this, Masterclass being very close to “master race”.

I hope people listen.

Briefly:

- A harrowing book which uses the structure of a normal family in a slightly future society to demonstrate how social and racial politics can insidiously become something much darker over time.

- If you read Vox, this may seem structurally very similar. In some ways that means you can focus more fully on the differences and the plot, than trying to pick up a complex world building thread.

- I find it interesting that both of Dalcher’s heroines I’ve met so far have been tied to Europe in some way. In Vox the narrator was Italian, in Q Elena is a first generation German American – her parents came over when they were young, and she was born there. There’s a reason for Germany, of course.

Rating: 4/5 – I wonder how effective it will be, whether people will wave it off as exaggeration, or become offended at the insinuations. There were parts I would have liked more nuance in, but it’s a strong book, just not for the faint-hearted.

For many years I have loved dystopian books. I love reading about how the authors’ idea of a futuristic, government-controlled world would look and whilst there are some vast differences between dystopian books there is always one similarity, the rich, clever, and good get the best in society, the poor, not so well educated, and those that are not perfect, get the worst there is to offer. In Q this is certainly brought to the forefront.

Everyone has to undergo tests every so often to discover what their Q score is. Score highly and you get the best in life such as a good job, the ability to shop whenever you wish, a nice house, etc. Score badly and all that changes. The score isn’t only based on your IQ level it is based on your genetics, married status, finances, health, sexual status, etc.

The schools are split into different levels, the high achiever’s school, the less achiever’s school, and the yellow card boarding school where those that go below a certain score are sent, away from others in society.

Elena Fairchild is a popular and well-liked teacher at one of the more elite schools. She is married to Malcolm who is a member of the government department responsible for setting up and monitoring these rules and implementing them. They have two daughters, Anne who excels at everything, and Freddie who is nine and in today’s society would probably be on the Autism Spectrum. Her grades are not so good.

In fact, Freddie scores so low on one of her tests that she is sent to one of these boarding schools in Kansas. Elena does what any drastic mother would have done in that situation, she botches her own test so that she can stay with her daughter, but the boarding school isn’t like what they have been made to believe, it is hell on Earth.

This is the first book by Christina Dalcher that I have read and from what I know about her first book and after reading this one she sure can write a dystopian novel. The book is heartbreaking, angering, comforting, and body-shuddering all at the same time.

You have the government and their policies and boarding school on one side, versus a mother’s love on the other. We not only get to read about what is happening now, but we are also taken back in time and see how this all began and how Elena after finding out during pregnancy that her baby wouldn’t score very well changed the results so that she could keep her child.

You also always find one character in these types of books that make you want to reach into the pages and ripped them apart and Elena’s husband Malcolm is that person in this book. How she married such an evil, despicable man in baffling. What makes a person behave and think the way he does?

Overall this is a book that dystopian fans should read. It is edgy, riveting, and kept me turning the pages needing to know everything. It also had me thankful that even though we are living through horrid, scary times at the moment they are nothing compared to what living in a Q society would be like.

This was a hard book to read because it was real, and it gives us the idea that we can repeat our past mistakes so easily, without meaning to, until it's almost too late. It's so much better than her first book, and that one was also great, but in Q everything is more scary and real.

“What matters most are the ideas that take hold, that move through cultures and time, repeating themselves.”

In the not too distant future everything revolves around your Q score. Your quotient, your measure of intelligence. High scores mean benefits, good jobs and homes in nice neighbourhoods. Low scores mean low prospects. Children are tested regularly, sent to top tier schools or transferred to federal boarding schools, the government believes this is improving society.

Elena is a teacher at one of the elite schools, after her nine year old daughter’s score plummets after one of the tests she is forced to leave for the boarding school hundreds of miles away. Elena purposefully lowers her Q to follow her daughter. What Elena discovers at this place is something hidden from the outside world where propaganda hides the real purpose of the Q system.

-

This was a powerful read, the writing is fantastic and the story is so compelling. It is deeply disturbing how little we learn about the history of eugenics across the world and the thought of history so easily repeating itself and society turning a blind eye even easier is horrifying. Thought provoking, highly recommend.

Available from 30th April, thank you netgalley for my copy to review.

This book was a hell of a ride. Following Elena and her family after the introduction of Q numbers for everyone that separates society based on intellect this book had me on the edge of my seat.

With reminders of Mrs Waterford in The Handmaid's Tale and how one suggestion can change your life in horrific and unexpected ways I was was sobbing by the end of this story.

The only thing I continue not to be able to understand is how high school students could exact such change on a nation.

A brilliant book with a flawed cast of characters.

I loved the premise of this book, but I felt it was a little slow and the main character seemed to be a bit of a contradiction. She hated what was happening to her daughter but had been quite happy up to that point for it to happen to other people's children. I felt very distant from the characters and didn't really get to feel their emotion.

If you've read Christina Dalcher's debut 'Vox' you'll know that she sets out a future of America that is scarily uncanny; so like our current one, but with a subtle difference- we no longer have our human rights. 'Vox' also showed her talent and knack for creating awful male characters that you can't help but feel disgusted and enraged at. The men who set about getting rid of women's rights whilst smugly sitting by and seeing their own skyrocket. These men are unfortunately alive and well within 'Q'- the main character Elena Fairchild, is married to one of them.

Elena is a teacher at one of the state’s new elite schools, which focuses on gifted students who learn eugenics and bionics along with algebra. These kids are equal to Einstein! To get into one of these schools, children must undergo routine tests for their quotient (Q). Any children who drop under 9 on a scale of 1-10 can kiss goodbye the chance to go to college and live well in this new society. The adults must go through 'Q' testing also; your number determines where you live, where you can shop, what line you have to stand in at the grocery store. The story focuses on what happens to those children who don’t measure up; they are placed into the darkly named new 'government schools'. We are told that the graduates of these schools will do the jobs that society doesn't want to do (although due to automation even getting a job at Starbucks is no longer a potential career path).

Elena has two daughters who at the beginning of the book are both members of the elite schools. She has a fantastic life- herself, her children and her husband all have 'Q's' of over 9. She doesn't really think about those in society with lower a lower Q. She is safe and has the perfect life on paper. However once one of her daughters scores lower than expected and is taken away to one of the government schools, she intentionally fails her own test to go with her. But what Elena discovers is far more terrifying than she ever imagined.

At times I felt uncomfortable reading this book and wanted to take a break because I wasn't sure I could handle what was coming next for Elena. Throughout the novel the idea of eugenics and the morality behind it is discussed and there are many references to the Nazi party and parallels made to this new not-so-distant future. It also questions how we treat people in society now; we still seem to view people with disabilities or developmental conditions as a drain on resources, rather than looking into how we can help them and how they can be flourishing members of society. However much it was unsettling it was also a fun read which I was eager to finish.

A thought provoking read. There are a lot of issues dealt with in this book. This is an America that no one should want to see. The whole story is very well written and hard to read in places. This is definitely a memorable read.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

**Review**
Q by Christina Dalcher
Imagine a world where people are measured, compared and segregated by routine testing. In this dystopian novel, testing gives people of school and working age a Q number, by which their lifestyle is determined. When one of Elena’s daughters drops below the desired threshold she is taken away from the family home. Elena’s only choice as her mother is to go and find her....
I was really excited to read this and it began well, but then unfortunately I became a bit bored. At halfway through, the story had only just covered that which was revealed in the synopsis with no surprises added in. I didn’t take to any of the characters or particularly feel for Elena in her situation. This may be ian unpopular opinion, as I have read a lot of good reviews for this book.
In summary, I loved the concept of the story and it was thought provoking, but it quickly fell flat for me and I lost interest. This will certainly not be the case for all though I am sure. It was just not for me.
Thank you for @netgalley for this advanced copy.

I admit that despite being intrigued by the premise of this book I could not finish it although I did read roughly half. The main problem I had with this book was that the main protagonist came across as a hypocrite and was generally unbelievable (not in the unreliable narrator way). She repeatedly told the reader that she was incredibly intelligent and yet spends much of her time ruminating on how she wished she was popular at high school. She was shocked to find numerous books in the study, that she shares with her husband, on the bottom shelf and hidden behind a wastepaper basket (presumably she never emptied it during their long marriage) with titles including the word 'feebleminded'. Are we really to believe that someone who constantly tells us how smart she is (she has a Q number of 9.75) has never even glanced at the titles of the books in her own house? She is a teacher at a school for those who have Q numbers of over 9 and her husband is one of the architects of the Q system, something that she is seemingly happy to go along with until her own daughter fails a test and is sent away near halfway through. After this happens she is musing on a story she reads about where someone tries to stand up for other people in Nazi Germany and she wonders whether she would have the courage to do that? The answer is clearly not as she has done nothing but support this system up til now. Her husband is awful and none of the other characters are particularly believable or likeable. The other issue I had with this main character as the narrator was the excessive use of the f-word which felt unnecessary and rather than strengthening the prose only weakened it.

Possibly controversially, I had mixed thoughts about Vox, Christina Dalcher's debut. I loved so much of it but the end frustrated me as it wrapped up far too quickly and it was all very neat, and implausible, so I was intrigued when @netgalley made Q available to request. As with Vox the story is about how humans can so easily turn against one another and how it's possible not to see how bad things are until it's too late, and how easy it can be to get swept up in it without taking a stand, sleepwalking our way to disaster. The situation is horrifying, intentionally so, and, as with Vox, it's not impossible to imagine a similar thing happening in the world we live in. I finished it fairly speedily as it races along, with flashbacks to 'then' to give contest to the 'now', but did I enjoy it? I'm not sure. It's released this week so pick it up and let me know what you think.

Q is set in a dystopian future that feels just touching distance from the world today. It's a world where everyone is regularly tested for their Q rating, and "Fitter Families'" is a government mantra, The story is told from the point of view of Elena Fairchild, who finds herself trapped in a nightmare scenario that she had helped create. Her predicament gets worse throughout the book as her freedom is curtailed in so many ways. There are some really interesting themes around social inequality, eugenics, parallels with the Nazi regime. It's a well-written and intelligent book that became all the more terrifying when it left me asking just how close we are to such a sinister world. Would we notice before it was too late?

I really enjoyed Christina Dalcher's first book, Vox, and found Q just as gripping. Highly recommended.

Having loved Vox, the author’s last book, I was really excited for this. Unfortunately it didn’t quite meet my expectations.
The dystopian society is a little b it too far fetched, where everyone is assigned a Q score based on their grades (even as an adult?) which determines where they go to school or work - I’m guessing it would also determine their access to other public services but this isn’t really explored. The problem I had is that there was no build up of tension. It started at 100% and just kept that up. Vox was horrifying because it was believable. That being said Q does explore some difficult topics about how if you stand by and watch the world change you could watch as things become just as horrifying as they do in this book.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first Christina Dalcher book and it will not be my last.

This book was incredibly thought out, with a strong protagonist at its fore front and a narrative that made it impossible to put down. Elena Fairchild is a very realistic and relatable character whose character development was spot on. Elena would do anything for her children and honestly I will never understand why she married Malcolm. I hated him so much and honestly wished I could punch him.

This book got my mind racing at the possibility of this happening in a distant future. It’s scary but so believable. It also had me wondering what my Q would have been and what life would have been like. Society holds perfection on such a high pedestal that this book reminds us that it’s okay not to be perfect.

This book had me gripped from the very beginning and I very much welcomed its uniqueness! The story flowed perfectly, and it was such an impactful read that I will not be forgetting any time soon! Q was such an intense and gripping read which I recommend to anyone who loves a good Dystopian story.

Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Having read and loved Christina’s book ‘Vox’ last year I was very excited to be given the opportunity to read and review her latest book ‘Q’. I am quite new to dystopian thrillers and can now say that I am a huge fan. This book certainly gets you thinking. I raced through it and it kept my attention throughout. Looking forward to her next book.
