Wither Giveaway @ The Irish Banana Review

Hannah from The Irish Banana is giving away a copy of Wither by Lauren DeStefano! I, for one, love her blog, I love reading her reviews and I love her rating policy. (I also love the name! Irish Banana...what's not to love about that?)
(Click here for the giveaway page, you must be a follower of her blog to enter, and the giveaway ends March 30th.)



Summary: (From Goodreads)
What if you knew exactly when you would die?

Thanks to modern science, every human being has become a ticking genetic time bomb—males only live to age twenty-five, and females only live to age twenty. In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out.

When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the Gatherers to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. Despite her husband Linden's genuine love for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine has one purpose: to escape—to find her twin brother and go home.

But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden's eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant Rhine is growing dangerously attracted to, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limted time she has left.

Sounds awesome, right? I wish you luck in entering, and I wish luck to Hannah on her awesome blog!
