Unwholly (Unwind #2 ♥♥♥)

Release: 2012
It's not very often that a do a WoW for books that don't have a cover or description. I try to wait until the books has them, but if I am VERY excited and impatient I'll do a post (like this one). So why am I so excited for this one? Because I love love loved Schusterman's Unwind, the prequel to Unwholly. I can't even describe the feeling I got when I heard there was going to be a sequel. I was like OH. MY. GOODNESS. If you haven't read Unwind yet, go look it up and buy it right now. The summary of Unwind is below.
Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives.
The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape and to survive.
