The most unique aspect of this book is the fascinating concept of "body renting", where young people like Callie rent out their bodies to the elderly in order to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. The plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns, and the stakes are high as Callie fights to save herself and her loved ones from danger. Highly recommended for fans of science fiction and action-packed stories.
