In a society where a one child policy is enforced, Ava Goodwin has a secret, one that her mother died for. That secret is Mira Goodwin, or her identical twin sister. In order to prevent being found out, they have traded places every day for the past eighteen years. It was great for the both of them, their biggest concern being an upcoming ball, until one day their act is exposed. Now on the run, their bond as sisters and willpower are tested as obstacles are pushed into their way. Will they be able to survive? Or will the Rule of One prevail?
The Rule of One by Ashley Saunders and Leslie Saunders is a dystopian sci-fi novel with an interesting concept and compelling themes. I really enjoyed how it alternated between Mira and Ava’s perspective in the chapters. If you liked the movie What Happened to Monday, you would probably also enjoy this book. The cover was a bright yellow which helped draw my eye towards this book. I mostly chose to read this book because of the cover in the first place, so I think the cover was great. Overall I would rate this book a 4/5.
