The Apex Agenda follows Cam as she navigates a world where a Diversity Commission imprisons anyone who is genetically ‘defective’. When Cam is discovered to be one of this people, she evades capture and flees from everything she’s ever known with her best friend, Liddy. She’s taken in by a secret organization against the Commission. But not everything is as it seems, and Cam has to figure out who she can really trust.

This was a really interesting dystopian! It felt very fresh and had a unique take on the genre. The world was built really well, and I was fascinated by both opposing sides. There’s a lot of relevant discussion on gender and genetics and it made for a really interesting read. The plot is quite gripping and has a good pace although there are some slower parts.

Cam was a really interesting main character who has a lot of growth throughout the novel. Especially in relation to her best friend. I really enjoyed the friendship in this one because it was so complicated and a bit toxic. It felt very believable to childhood friendships that change when you get older.

Overall, this was a super fascinating take on the dystopian genre and I’d definitely recommend it if you love this genre.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review!
