#FabFictionFridays - June 19, 2015
This week, I've also been reading FLAWED by @bnlfan which is an engaging tale of a future dystopia where society's class structure is determined by SPR ratings, essentially a calculation of how perfect each individual is. The book weaves old vengeances and convoluted plots to spark a revolution and do away with the ranking/class system together with the compelling story of seventeen-year-old protagonist Hannah, who lived as Flawed for her entire life despite being the only person ever to be born with an SPR rating of 100.
One caveat: This is an early draft (something the writer candidly admits in her summary), so there are some typos and misspellings, etc., but nothing so egregious that it'll distract from this otherwise great sci-fi story.
FLAWED's Official Book Blurb:
Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed and life will not be so kind.
Hannah is flawed, adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents chose their social standing over their daughter. Life has been one of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong! Now she is being relocated back to her birth parents, to live as one of the Top-Five, all medically and legally judged as perfect. Entering this new life Hannah has an impossible decision to make which puts not only hers, but the lives of everyone she cares about at great risk.
This story is in it's first draft and a little rough around the edges. These are being slowly edited out. Thank you for reading.
