This is story that starts out in 2050 amidst global warming and extreme climate change. Jacqueline Millender is a wealthy businesswoman and inventor. She uses her wealth, prestige and genius to create a utopian sealed city. Jacqueline sends out questionnaires and applications to the US citizens to apply for admission to the “Inside�. Secretly she only selects educated feminist women to become new residents.

Ava, a scientist, is one of the new residents who leaves her girlfriend behind when only she is selected. Shelby leaves her poor family behind also after being selected to be Jacqueline’s assistant. Olympia is a new doctor and is also one of the chosen.

This book had several innovations and plot twists that I found very entertaining after getting past the beginning chapters. Korn describes a very realistic and scary future for humanity. And as a debut author she did a great job with this book.

I recommend this book to people who enjoy dystopian stories with a bit of romance thrown in.

ARC received for an honest and voluntary review.
