Wither by Lauren DeStefano

"Set in the future where all the genetic modification has created humans that live for hundreds of years; and their offspring who die at age 20 or 25. There is a futile rush to find a cure for the virus that kills off subsequent generations. Rhine is a twin who get sold to become one of three new brides for a wealthy man. I never knew who to trust or root for but that is what made the book so thrilling. The story of Rhine and her sister wives definitely keeps your attention from start till end. Everything that happens in this well told story has a sense of urgency because of the end time on their lives. The worst part about this book is that I have to wait for the sequel."
