That all changes when she issues a spur of the moment invitation to the strange new kid. The world Charlie comes from is much different than Earth. Almost every aspect of a Sentrian's life is under complete government control. There is only one right the intrusive authorities may not violate that God chooses your soul mate.

Should he ignore his feelings for the Earthan, or pursue a doomed relationship with the only girl he has ever cared about? His contact with Lilly does not go unnoticed. Involvement with an Earthan is considered blasphemy, and Charlie is condemned as a criminal of the state. The couple is faced with a difficult choice accept eternal separation or risk everything to stay together.

I made it 40% into the book before I decided to read the reviews and see if other people were able to finish this. I was surprised how many gave it a good rating. The thing that started triggering on me was the blatant Christian overtone and conservative views through the whole book. Without looking I predicted that it was written by a 50 year old Christian conservative woman that spent time in Texas and, well, sadly I was right.None of the reviews I read had a problem with the point of views, so it's probably just me. The most accurate review I read was either a one or two star that said the author was lazy, which after making my way all the way to the end to give it a fair review, I agree with.
The author suffers from floating head syndrome, at least I think that's what it's called, where the point of view jumps from one person to another with in the same section. She sections it off between scenes constantly, but not between views, so you jump from protagonist to antagonist and then to the friend within three paragraphs, it gets very tiring trying to figure out who she's talking about all the time.
There is also one point where she says she's going to call the guy one name even though they are in a different place where he has a different name, but then doesn't and then the last sentence does. Then she flips back again, and then back one more time.
The time travel thing doesn't follow through the book. The explanation for them watching Earthans doesn't really make sense if you think about it and the whole thing is written so hum drum. They went to the kitchen. They ate. They went to the car.
Another thing I found annoying was giving her Mexican family American names and a Christmas tree with a star on top. I'm not Mexican, but I have many friends who are and it's like she wanted to add culture to her book but never met a Mexican family in her life, so she made a white family with a Hispanic last names. This book felt so much like Christian conservative propaganda to me that it makes me wonder how people don't see it.

The Circle eBook KM Montemayor Reviews
The plot was an utter surprise, and I liked/bought it. It's undercurrent was a little uncomfortable, but it led to a hopeful ending, which was specifically desirable by the end of the series. I liked the fact that the biggest antagonist was not viewed in a good light--and the author stayed true to all characters to the end, with the exception of one, which I would have liked to have seen more change in. The author kept the antagonist in a non-growth, unchanging position, and that was the right thing to do to meet the needs of the theme.
The protagonist grew some, but she is not a life changing character, except in her profession. Through the story twists, she is caught in a series of roles having to do with a normal human growth pattern, which she played out--well, in the writing, I might add. Some of it could even be said to be inspiring, especially for teen girls, but then, some of it was more of a warning for teen girls. And, she didn't grow as quickly as she could have. At the same time, she did unpredictable things along the way, which kept her character interesting.
Her partner also grew very little. Ironically, his was the surprise ending, though you knew it was coming. This character was infected with the outcome from the start, so he had a role to play at the heart level pretty much the only way it could be played. His physical story was very dark, not unrealistic, but certainly nothing to enjoy being a witness to (Book 2). His emotional story was undercut by the theme. He didn't learn enough from his traumatic experience, though he did survive and overcome it--and that has some merit.
Overall, this first book introduces everything you need to know about what is to come in the next two books--while giving nothing away. In fact, the end of this book is quite a shock. It is very clean and precise, which on its own, is refreshing.
Also, the story has twists and is entertaining. It starts with mature children of high school age making mistakes, but leads them into the first phase of adulthood, where the next 2 books continue.
This is not a book by my definition, because it does not tell a story. It introduces a story, builds the story, and then drops it. It almost seemed that the author was trying to chop it off in the most disturbing and unfinished way possible. I can appreciate that it's free, but it's just not a "book" to me -- it's a sample or an introduction.
I knew the premise was a bit out there, but the more I read the sillier it seemed. I was never drawn into the world. I felt like I was on the outside looking in.
With the emotions of the characters, I also felt like I was on the outside looking in. The conversations felt wooden and flat. I felt distant from what they were going through.
On the plus side, I appreciated some interesting and unique things about the weaving of the plot, at least for this beginning segment of the story arc. Also, I did read the whole thing.
I will not be buying the next one, partly because I felt tricked and partly because I wasn't wowed.
