The Last Girl

Zoey is almost 21, but she isn't looking forward to leaving the ward and going to the Safe Zone to meet her parents. She's been held in the prison her entire life, along with a few other girls who disappear after the coming-of-age ceremony. The National Obstetric Alliance is protecting the young girls while researching the epidemic that causes nearly all babies to be born male. Zoey isn't sure what she's doing, but she escapes, finding refuge with rebels in the woods surrounding the compound. Quickly, she learns the truth of her world and government and plots revenge. Zoey and her new friends must break into the compound and rescue the other female prisoners. Readers will have to suspend disbelief—Zoey is inexplicably skilled at everything she attempts in the outside world—but the action is fast-paced, and the book is a quick read.
