Knife Edge by Malorie Blackman is intriguingly great. It's a fantastic follow on to Noughts and Crosses, Blackman's first book in the series. Jude McGreggor is a Nought, a pale skinned inferior in a world run by Crosses. Persephone (Sephy) Hadley is a Cross, one of a class of black rulers looking down on every Nought.

But Sephy is different. She sees herself as more of a Nought. Jude, having faced unspeakable tragedies, blames Sephy for everything his family have been through. In a world of prejudice, politics and class, can Sephy finally settle down and forget her past? And when Jude is faced with his biggest problem yet, can he trust what he's forever hated?
I love this book because of the hard choices that each character has to face. The relationship between the different people in the book is so similar to ours in our world that it makes the characters even more realistic. Blackman has really captured that hate in this wonderfully written book.
