The first book in Marissa Howard's vivid trilogy about a gray world, forgotten love, and the fight to find it again.Eighteen-year-old Laney spent the last thirteen years of her life in gray. Gray walls, gray clothes, gray napkins sitting next to gray plates and forks and knives. And gray air - air so thin, so far underground, that even the lights seem to be choking.Ever since the ban on love in the world went terribly wrong and Laney and 96 others took refuge in an old underground bunker they call the Dome, that's how life is.Gray. Cold. Silent.The rules inside the Dome are law: Don't speak to one another. Don't touch one another. Always walk in a line. Every vote must be unanimous. And don't ever, ever speak of love.Silence is the way to peace. Gray is the color of peace. Love is the opposite of peace.Laney believes every word. After all, she saw it: the world destroyed because of love.But then the perfect gray world cracks.The leaders suddenly announce that they are holding a competition where eight people will be chosen to leave the Dome and go above ground for the first time in thirteen years. The winners will get to see the world again - to breathe air, to see color. If any of it still exists.When the boy in Laney's studies - the tall one, with brown hair - illegally takes her hand during the competition and holds it up for everyone to see, Laney is stunned.And when Laney discovers the real reason behind the competition - to search for love in a world where it doesn't exist anymore - she realizes one simple, terrifying thing:The thing they all know nothing about - the thing they destroyed - might be the thing they need to keep them alive.Look for the sequel, Fearless, and the epic series finale, Pointless!
