The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee
New York City as you’ve never seen it before. A thousand-story tower stretching into the sky. A glittering vision of the future, where anything is possible—if you want it enough.
Welcome to Manhattan, 2118.
A hundred years in the future, New York is a city of innovation and dreams. But people never change: everyone here wants something…and everyone has something to lose.
Leda Cole’s flawless exterior belies a secret addiction—to a drug she never should have tried and a boy she never should have touched.
Eris Dodd-Radson’s beautiful, carefree life falls to pieces when a heartbreaking betrayal tears her family apart.
Rylin Myers’s job on one of the highest floors sweeps her into a world—and a romance—she never imagined…but will her new life cost Rylin her old one?
Watt Bakradi is a tech genius with a secret: he knows everything about everyone. But when he’s hired to spy by an upper-floor girl, he finds himself caught up in a complicated web of lies.
And living above everyone else on the thousandth floor is Avery Fuller, the girl genetically designed to be perfect. The girl who seems to have it all—yet is tormented by the one thing she can never have.
The premise of this book was great, and it was pulled off exceptionally well. The whole idea of the thousand story building was very well-fleshed out and used expertly throughout the story. The issue was just that the characters seemed intent on destroying themselves and everyone around them. It was not exactly fun to watch struggling people be hurt over and over again due to circumstance.
While this book is important for the way it establishes the characters, and sets up the plot that keeps the entire series rolling, it is by far my least favorite book in the trilogy. Enough said. The cover is stunning, though.
