As you can possibly imagine, things get out of hand and Zhou starts to develop feelings for Daiyu. Zhou sets out to infiltrate the corporation by befriending the CEO’s daughter, Daiyu. He links up with a group of activists whose goal it is to take down the Jin Corporation- the main company responsible for so much of the world’s pollution, which is the main factor that led to his mom’s death. Sick of watching the rich (the yous) get richer, live longer and better lives, at the expense of the meis, Zhou decides he is going to finally do something about it. Zhou is part of the meis, aka the have-nots.

In Want we meet out main character Jason Zhou. The sequel Ruse is already releases, so you can binge both books back to back! It was an ok read for me, but I can see it really appealing to a lot of readers. If you are a fan of books set in the future that feature all kinds of cool technology, which is personally what I love to see in my dystopians, then I think the Want series is one you should check out. The Want series is a Dystopian that has a really cool world setup. Want is the first book in the young adult Want series by Cindy Pon. Can Zhou save his city without compromising who he is or destroying his own heart? And against his better judgment, Zhou finds himself falling for Daiyu, the daughter of Jin Corp’s CEO. Yet the deeper Zhou delves into this new world of excess and wealth, the more muddled his plans become. Jin Corp not only manufactures the special suits the rich rely on, but they may also be manufacturing the pollution that makes them necessary. With the help of his friends, Zhou infiltrates the lives of the wealthy in hopes of destroying the international Jin Corporation from within. Frustrated by his city’s corruption and still grieving the loss of his mother, who died as a result of it, Zhou is determined to change things, no matter the cost. The rich wear special suits that protect them from the pollution and viruses that plague the city, while those without suffer illness and early deaths. Jason Zhou survives in a divided society where the elite use their wealth to buy longer lives.
