The ones we’re meant to find


Cee has been trapped on an abandoned island for three years without any recollection of how she arrived, or memories from her life prior. All she knows is that somewhere out there, beyond the horizon, she has a sister named Kay, and it’s up to Cee to cross the ocean and find her.


In a world apart, 16-year-old STEM prodigy Kasey Mizuhara lives in an eco-city built for people who protected the planet―and now need protecting from it. With natural disasters on the rise due to climate change, eco-cities provide clean air, water, and shelter. Their residents, in exchange, must spend at least a third of their time in stasis pods, conducting business virtually whenever possible to reduce their environmental footprint. While Kasey, an introvert and loner, doesn’t mind the lifestyle, her sister Celia hated it. Popular and lovable, Celia much preferred the outside world. But no one could have predicted that Celia would take a boat out to sea, never to return.
Now it’s been three months since Celia’s disappearance, and Kasey has given up hope. Logic says that her sister must be dead. But nevertheless, she decides to retrace Celia’s last steps. Where they’ll lead her, she does not know. Her sister was full of secrets. But Kasey has a secret of her own.

The ones we are meant to find is a new novel by Joan He. It was one of my most anticipated releases of 2021 so as soon as it got out i had to read it. It actually took me a little longer than i had planned but hey I got the review now haha.

 

This book has such an interesting concept that called me quite intensely but I'm not going to lie, the cover made me buy it, have you seen that BEAUTY? The art work is absolutely stunning and I love it.

Anyways back to the actual story. Going into it with just knowing the basics was probably the best idea ever, it has a surprising element to it that I feel like if you know it could ruin it all.

I am normally not really in to Sci-fi/ dystopian books but I was pleasantly surprised about this one.

You follow the main characters Celia and Kasey, two sisters who love and care for each other. Unfortunately, Celia goes missing and appears to be in a deserted island knowing not so much about herself but that she has a sister and she needs to find her. And that is all you need to know.

What I thought it was really interesting is that you follow both sisters POV, however, that was a bit of a bad thing too.

It obviously was very important to know both lives but I found that Kasey’s POV was a bit boring at times and maybe it was because I wasn't fully focusing on it but I got kind of lost and confused with her part.

I also loved the fact that they were so different from each other, Kasey is a genius and Celia is more of a like a party people person.

A part from that, everything you want to do is just keep reading I wanted to know what was going to happen next so so bad because almost every chapter ended with a cliff hanger.

Even if you don't really like dystopian books (like me) I do think you could like this, it is mystery packed which is something I always love.

So just for the ending and the whole story development, it is absolutely worth reading.

I was thrilled to read this one and I am so glad I did because I absolutely loved it!

For that I gave it


4.5/5⭐️
