I had this on hold with Libby and didn't remember what it was, so I went in pretty blind. I didn't even realize who it was written by at first. I was a big fan of the divergent series as a teenager, and was happy to see she's still writing dystopian novels, but with a pretty fresh take.

Reading Poster Girl felt like starting a book at the end, but instead of it ending, we got to find out what happened next. There was this whole untold story in the past about an uprising over a dystopian government, but this story was about what happened to loyalists of that government a decade later. 

Our main character was quite literally the poster girl for the delegation before it fell, now she's the only person left in her family, locked away in a prison type community with very little contact with the outside world. She's offered a chance at freedom, but it's a lot more than that to her. It's a chance to really understand what happened in her childhood, to find out what role she played in the past and how she can move forward from the crimes of her elders.

I really enjoyed having such a different look at a dystopian story. The villains were very humanized through the eyes of their children, but not to the degree that it felt like they were being excused. It definitely made me think about some of the books I read in the past and wonder what was going on in the lives of the 'other side'.

I think anyone who grew up reading things like divergent and the hunger games will really like this book.
