The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee

  

I picked this book up and put it back down a few times but once I started reading it, I was hooked.

The Thousandth Floor takes place in New York City many, many years in the future.  The cast lives in a giant tower with the wealthiest being on the top and poorest on the bottom. The cast of characters is 5 people and the story is told from their point of view.  There is a lot of back and forth and until you get the characters "voice" down it can be a bit confusing trying to figure out who is who. 

Like most teen dramas this one is built on lies and figuring out everyone's truth.  The book starts off with a girl plummeting to her death and that is not the most dramatic part of it. There are custom made babies, cheating, spying,  technology and so much more!

If you're a fan of Pretty Little Liars - This is a good read for you.
