Oh dear lord I remember the disaster that was Save the Precious White People, but no. This was a published book where the author was payed real money so that the publisher could distribute it.
The Hunger Games was a dystopia on purpose, at least, though there are so many other problems with that series. (So very, very many.)
This was Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. Despite the stupid title, I thought it might be a cut above most other YA because a female friendship was placed centrally. And there may be a dissection post later, because at this point I'm just pausing every other scene to type up an angry screed to explain to Google Docs why it's awful.
