The Dividing Sky, Joy Revolution By Jill Tew

In 2364, life in the Metro is a game of survival for eighteen-year-old Liv Newman. A Proxy by trade, Liv uses the neurochip embedded in her brain to sell memories to the wealthy elite. Her clients pay handsomely for the experience of borrowed moments, and Liv sometimes deals a few off-the-books memories to scrape together extra cash. After all, money means freedom from the lower-class grind. When she’s offered an obscene sum for a dangerous mission into the lawless no-man’s-land, she takes the risk, hoping it’ll finally change her life for good.

Adrian Rao is a rookie Forceman with an unshakable belief in law and order. The Metro's tightly controlled society depends on people like him to keep things running smoothly. When Adrian uncovers a rogue Proxy whose illicit memory sales are wreaking havoc on citizens’ mental health, he’s determined to shut her down. But when he tracks down Liv, he’s met with an unexpected complication: her memories have been erased, and she has no recollection of her crimes.

As Liv and Adrian are forced to venture into the unknown territories beyond the Metro, they discover a dangerous new world—and unexpected feelings for each other. Liv, now stripped of her past, questions everything she once believed about survival and freedom. Meanwhile, Adrian wrestles with whether he can punish someone who might not be the villain he thought she was. Together, they must decide if there’s a better way to live—or if their fates have already been sealed. 📚❤️
