I received a review copy of The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee from Harper Collins in exchange for an honest review. This has in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings about the book.
I feel like I am in the minority regarding this book. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. I thought the concept of the world was fascinating and intriguing, and the plot pulled me in. However, the characters and point of views weren’t as strong.
The Thousandth Floor follows 5 protagonist, all from the same world of New York 2118 yet they all want something, and have something to lose. In a world where reputation, image and who you are friends with means everything. The Thousandth Floor is the elite from Gossip girl of the future.

Watt Bakradi is a tech genius and is the holder of many secrets; most not his own. He is the eyes and ears. He knows everything about everyone. Watt was an interesting character, again like Rylin he is swept up into the world of the elite and sometimes it’s hard to stay there.
Then we have Leda Cole who has just came back from a rehabilitation centre and is hiding more than one thing. I really disliked Leda, I understand that she had some pretty horrible things going on it her life – but at times the way that she acted, just hit me the wrong
