The Pledge, by Kimberly Derting

The Pledge, by Kimberly Derting, 323 pages

Charlie lives in a society that is strictly divided by class, where each class speaks their own language in an effort to keep themselves segregated.  Charlie has a secret, however- she can understand every language she hears.  This secret could result in her own execution, since her country is ruled by a deadly and desperate queen, determined to punish anyone who is different.  When Charlie meets a handsome young man in an underground club, things begin to spiral out of control- for both Charlie, the queen, and the entire country.  It wasn't my favorite, but this is worth checking out by those who enjoyed series such as Divergent, Matched, or other young adult dystopias.
