Goodreads Summary: Keep your head down.

Don’t get noticed.

Or else.

I’m Trella. A Scrub. A nobody, living in on the inside, doing my job, being noticed only by my friend Cog. But when I accidentally start a rebellion and becomes a go-to girl for the revolution, nothing will be the same on Inside, or Outside.

Inside Out is a really cool book.  I like the idea of inside versus outside and that everyone has their own duties and their place in this society.

I thought the characters were interesting, but I didn’t care for most of them at first.  I get why they acted the way they did, but they did start to grow on me as the book progressed.

I wasn’t expecting them to be on a spaceship.  Underground, maybe.  But not on a spaceship.  Which actually makes a lot of sense now that I think about it, with the pipes and how self-sustaining they are.

I’m curious as to how they ended up there, and what their history is.  What’ll happen Week # 1 million?  What is outside?  The world Snyder built is really interesting, and while there isn’t a lot of backstory, inside felt like a real place.

It did take a while to get going, but once it did, it was hard to put down.

Some things- like Trella’s family history or the romance- felt a little forced, and was the most predictable part of the book.

It gets a 4 out of 5.  It could have had a few more details, but overall, it was a fun read.
