Wow. This is one of those books that takes you on a journey. The first half was well written, but for me it was a slow start. To be honest, many of the best books I've read start slow and get you good and hooked for when the drama starts. Unwind is no exception. The characters and the world they inhabit were so flawlessly done that I found myself gasping for breath at one scene. I recommend this to anyone, even if you (like me) don't get into YA super often.
