The Hybrid Chronicles by Kat Zhang
This trilogy is a lot less mainstream than what I normally read. I turned to it anyway because of that exact reason. I felt like reading a dystopian-ish novel, but things like Delirium, Uglies, and Matched are always so focused on the romance, which I think is often a waste of an intriguing concept. So I picked up that one special book on my shelf of sci-fi-or-dystopian that did not mention a boy in the synopsis. And I am so very glad I did.
