Description
Splicing can fix anything--if you can afford it.
Avall's best friend is dying from a genetic disease but can't afford to be spliced. Dr. Cutler offers to do it for free if Avall goes to a summer camp where underprivileged teens can earn treatment, dollar by dollar. It sounds too good to be true--until Avall finds herself at a sketchy camp pitted against other campers in risky challenges. Avall must find a way to earn her friend's treatment before time runs out.

This one was a bit middle of the road for me. I saw that it's marketed for 12-16 year old and it definitely feels like it should be aimed more to the lower end of that. The formatting and sentence structure felt VERY YA.
The premise of this was really intriguing. You can tell the author did some research into degenerative health conditions and I really do appreciate that as a lot of books try to have a character be sickly or disabled and completely miss the mark.
The drawback for me was mostly the expectedness of it all. I don't consider the lower YA feel to be a drawback as it's definitely marketed as YA. The plot follows along just as you'd expect and that unfortunately is all you get. There's no exciting development or sudden twist that you don't see coming which can leave you wanting more.
I really want to stress that in no way is this a bad book. It's going to be spot on for 12-14 year olds but I do think 16 may be a bit high. I would check out more from this author in the future especially if they bumped up the complexity a bit.
