Predestined

Summary

From the author of Soulmatch comes a dystopian romantic thriller where a risk-averse teen trusts the future-predicting AI to identify potential threats, but it completely misses the mysterious rebel intent on upending her world.

Gloria St. John’s life is 88.3% predictable. It’s a great score. She makes smart choices, avoids unnecessary risks, and grumbles about the country’s oppressive predictability system while simultaneously reaping the rewards. That is, until her Futurecast app, the one that predicts her next twenty-four hours, alerts Gloria that she’ll suddenly vanish tomorrow morning. But that’s impossible. Must be a glitch, right? Right?

Turns out the “glitch” is linked to a mysterious rebel, Elwood, who knows far more than he should about Gloria, the predictability AI, and its developer—Gloria’s dad. Driven by growing resentment of her father’s control, Gloria agrees to meet Elwood in exchange for answers, but Elwood hasn’t come to help Gloria. He’s here to destroy her.

Gloria’s race against the clock to save herself and her loved ones unexpectedly turns up the truth about her mother’s unsolved murder. Soon she’s rethinking not only her past but her every step, especially since Futurecast insists she won’t survive the night.
