Plus One

Plus One by Elizabeth Fama
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Twists and turns in this science fiction action adventure are fast paced and engaging. The reader, like the characters, learns to disregard the distinctions which set one group of people apart from another. Instead, we embrace the differences and value the role they play in relationships, whether they are familial, romantic, or friendship.

Elizabeth Fama creates a world where those who are Day and those who are Night do not realize the beauty of their lives nor do they appreciate what the other has to offer. At first, the terminology is confusing to the reader, but within the first two chapters, the social configuration of the society becomes clear and the focus is fully on the characters. Sol and D'Arcy are created with such depth and emotion that the reader is fully engaged in their struggles and their triumphs.

A wonderful young adult novel that truly explores the issue of differences as well as how far one is willing to go and how much one is wiling to sacrifice for the love of another.
