About this title

Review:

"Surprising twists, tender romance, and a fierce, smart protagonist make for a winning formula in Kang's debut. CONTROL is tautly woven and breathlessly delivered--a thrilling read!"--Jessica Khoury, author of ORIGIN

"Control blew me away, from the depth and richness of this fascinating, disturbing vision of the future -- and all its technologies -- to the twists and turns and suspense that made for a thrilling ride. Zel is as authentic a character as I've read in a very long time. Highly recommended."--James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of THE MAZE RUNNER

"Steamy, romantic. . .scrupulous attention to scientific detail adds authenticity."--Kirkus Reviews

"A sweet, edgy romance rounds out this smart, futuristic medical thriller."--Publishers Weekly

"Control successfully integrates science, adventure, and romance into one unforgettable read. [It] will keep you wanting more until the jaw-dropping ending."--RT Book Reviews, Top Pick

"Kang has skillfully blended a coming-of-age, dystopia YA fiction, and some heavy duty genetics. . . Kang is a physician in real life and her science is impressive."--Library Media Connection
