Part of a Series: Book 1 of Numbers Game
Plot: Treena is nervous for Rating Day. A single number will brand her forever—a valuable citizen, or a pathetic waste of space. Her top-Rated boyfriend is confident their scores will coincide so they can attend the academy together. But when the big day arrives, her true number shocks everyone.
To get her life and boyfriend back, she must go undercover and expose a military spy. Doesn’t sound too hard, except that someone wants her dead. And then there’s Vance, the mysterious soldier with a haunted past and beautiful brown eyes. Together, they discover a dark numbers conspiracy, one that shatters the nation’s future. Treena must join up with Vance if she is to survive the dangerous game of numbers—and the terrible war that rages within her heart.

Review
This book came to my attention because I needed the letter N for the ice-cream challenge in a reading group. I'm so glad it did!!! This book is amazing!
If you have read The Testing Series by Joelle Charbonneau (if you haven't, you really should because it's a great not well known dystopian trilogy) you will love this one!
So, at Rating Day everyone who has reached the age, is rated and assigned a number which will establish where they fit in society. The higher the number the better is your life. High numbers are green and the lowest numbers are red. Treena and her friends have prepared for this day. Treena has done everything right, so even if she's nervous, she shouldn't have any problems.
Imagine the shock when she receives a low rating, one of the worst in history!
Treena does everything in her power to find out what happened, why did she receive a low score? She will even go undercover as a spy and meet Vance, a mysterious soldier, who will help her in her task and they will discover a dark secret.
Like I said, if you love dystopian novels, like DIVERGENT or THE GIVER, you will enjoy this one. I really hope more people would read it and it says it's the first one in a series but there's still no news for the second book.
I know that dystopian novels all seem a bit the same: female heroine, love triangle, nemesis in power, different class in society and so on... but you should really give it a shot!
