In Candor, you are what you hear. The citizens of this model town are secretly brainwashed by subliminal Messages which will control their behaviour. Son of the creator of Candor, Oscar Banks is the perfect Candor teen. He's got the looks, the grades, and the perfect behaviour. Or so that's what everyone thinks. But no one knows he has found a way to protect his own thoughts and that he has built an entire business helping new kids escape before the Messages take control. Then Oscar meets Nia, a girl he can't stand to see changed. But saving her means losing her forever, and keeping her in Candor means risking everything. This isn't just your typical love story. The town seems too unreal, yet the characters are totally believable. I really enjoyed this book as it can really let you see the art of brainwashing and Oscar's struggling battle with his own mind. The book shows you that, no matter how hard you try, there is no such thing as a perfect world or a perfect person.
Who would enjoy this book? Anyone who wants to read about brainwashing and how our world can never be perfect
