But in this strange place, marks work together, and they even take care of their mutts. Won&#8217;t Bryce be pleased when he comes back to get her? Now she knows their secrets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They won&#8217;t survive a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\">Betty&#8217;s Quick Review<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not generally like dystopian stories, so I was pleasantly surprised by Promise Me Tomorrow. It is a quick and enjoyable read with interesting characters and a believable world. I would have enjoyed a few consequences to actions rather than seemingly constant luck, but I also realize the author is setting up a larger story. Not a ton of action but it was well written and kept my attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"196\" height=\"36\" src=\"https:\/\/toughcrowdreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-star-rating.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-347\" style=\"width:98px;height:18px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A quick, enjoyable read with an interesting setup for the rest of the series.
