I started reading The Gender Game  by Bella Forrest a couple of days ago and it is so good that I thought I'd share a little about it before I finished it! If you're looking for a Young Adult/coming-of-age post-apocalyptic/adventure read, then I recommend giving The Gender Game  a go. The idea of Matriarchal vs Patriarchal based ruling is interesting. What if women ruled one region and enforced law and society roles in a way that would traditionally (rather stereotypically) be considered a "woman's place"? And what if men had a region of the same?

( Blurb ): It is 1941 and war is looming, but to Pearl Scaggins nothing matters more than the man she loves. Unfortunately she will face changes, they are inevitable, but is Pearl strong enough to accept them, to make her own changes and to survive all that war brings. THE DAYS OF HAIRAWN MUHLY is a coming of age romance set during the rise of the greatest generation. In 1933 Hairawn Muhly, could be found all over the banks of the Carolinas. Its brilliant purple plumes proudly swayed among the yuccas and sea oats on dunes piled stories high. But progress and time have changed everything. The Days of Hairawn Muhly is a coming of age story not only for its colorful characters, but also for the tiny coastal community in which they lived. It depicts a simpler and perhaps more beautiful time that flourished gracefully and naturally.
