"Scythe" by Neal Shusterman is a young adult novel that deals with the usual YA concerns, first loves, first heartbreaks, coming of age, et cetera, but it's also wrapped around an interesting sci-fi question of: "what are humans like as functional immortals?"
The answer, somewhat predictably, is pretty awful.
I don't exactly mean this as a criticism of the book because if everything was hunky-dory, then it would be pretty hard to tell a compelling story about the subject. After all, a story requires conflict in some form to be engaging. If there's no conflict, well, it's more of a recitation of events than a narrative.
Overall, if you like YA novels, "Scythe" will serve you well.
