Title: Perfect Ruin (The Internment Chronicles #1)
Author: Lauren DeStefano
Release date: October 1, 2013
Pages: 356

On Internment, the floating island in the clouds where 16-year-old Morgan Stockhour lives, getting too close to the edge can lead to madness. Even though Morgan's older brother, Lex, was a Jumper, Morgan vows never to end up like him. She tries her best not to mind that her life is orderly and boring, and if she ever wonders about the ground, and why it is forbidden, she takes solace in best friend Pen and her betrothed, Basil.

Then a murder, the first in a generation, rocks the city. With whispers swirling and fear on the wind, Morgan can no longer stop herself from investigating, especially when she meets Judas. He is the boy being blamed for the murder — betrothed to the victim — but Morgan is convinced of his innocence. Secrets lay at the heart of Internment, but nothing can prepare Morgan for what she will find — or who she will lose.

My teaser, from p. 142:

He knows that I'm not like the other girls--the normal ones--that a part of me is slipping off this floating city, and he doesn't care. He doesn't care.

Maybe we're both beyond saving.

I've been so excited about this book for so long! I'm not even this far yet, but so far I'm loving it! The tone is really interesting, and, for whatever reason, it makes me think of Fahrenheit 451. I'm excited to read more!

I'll be visiting around and visiting back, so leave me links to your teasers! Have a lovely Tuesday!
