Poster Girl is a dystopian novel by Veronica Roth, the author of the Divergent trilogy, published in 2022. Unlike her most famous works, Poster Girl is clearly aimed towards an adult audience and includes a lot of darkness and despair in its story and themes.Similar to Divergent, the novel is set in a dystopian future version of the United States — in this case, a Mega City formed in the Northwest from Seattle, Vancouver and Portland. However, Poster Girl offers a unique Perspective Flip on the setting, focusing on the dystopian regime (known as the Delegation) after it has been overthrown by a revolution and replaced by an entity known as the Triumvirate. Furthermore, the book's protagonist, Sonya Kantor, initially factors into the story not as a brave rebel but as the titular "Poster Girl" for the Delegation, having been chosen as the face for its latest batch of propaganda posters before the Revolution took place.Ten years after the Rebellion, Sonya and the other loyalists of the old regime lead a miserable existence in the Aperture, a ghetto in the outskirts of the Mega City, trying to make the most of the scraps left to them. It is then that she is approached by Alexander, a former friend of Sonya who turned against the Delegation in the rebellion and has been working for the Triumvirate in the past decade. He gives Sonya a tantalizing offer: find a girl taken away from her family by the Delegation more than ten years ago, and she will receive her freedom. Traversing the new world on her path to redemption, Sonya is confronted more and more with the evils of the old regime, and the part her own family played within it… | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Poster Girl / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: It is clear that Sonya held some resentment for her old sister Susanna for being the perfect child and being able to get ahead of her for once played a huge part in her becoming the titular Poster Girl for the Delegation. Yet as the story continues it becomes clear that Sonya dearly misses her sister and cherishes the good memories she has of her very highly. In the end clearly resenting her father for including Susanna in his Pater Familicide. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The precursor to the Insight implant, to which the Triumvirates society has now returned, is called the Elicit. A black device about the size of a hand, that can be used for communication as well as to display information, a device can still monitor and track down a person werever they go. A device suspiciously similar to a modern smartphone... | |

Unreliable Narrator | |

Unreliable Narrator: Downplayed but despite Sonya being the point of view character the narration does hide her true motive to find Grace Ward namely being the one who snitched her out in the first place, for most of the story. | |

Redemption Quest | |
| Poster Girl / int_188668f2 | comment |
Redemption Quest: Sonya`s search for Grace is an offically sanctioned one, if she finds the girl she will be released from the Aperture. In truth it is far more personal, Sonya seeking Grace to atone for being the one who originally ratted her out to the Delegation. Getting her freedom is just a secondary concern to her and when she later is offered her freedom by Naomi Proctor she instead resolves returning to Grace`s family to tell them what happened to their daughter and her own part in it. Sadly this leads to... | |

Sins of Our Fathers | |
| Poster Girl / int_1adcd502 | comment |
Sins of Our Fathers: Several of the younger people in the Aperture were put there on account of being the children of important figures in the Delegation. After ten years in the ghetto the Triumvirate finally released everyone who had been below eighteen years old at the time of incarceration. Everyone but Sonya that is. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
| Poster Girl / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: The Rebellion and the following Triumvirate are a A Lighter Shadeof Grey to the Delegation but not without some pretty dark sides either. Many people were killed during the uprising, including children and teenagers, and afterwards everyone connected to the regime was put in a ghetto, sterilized and left to rot. Only very recently did the Triumvirate even allow those not yet adults when the rebellion happened, to return to society. It´s also mentioned that the Triumvirate postponed the restoration of several civil liberties "until the government has stabilized" for the last ten years. | |

Former Regime Personnel | |
| Poster Girl / int_38ac6c7d | comment |
Former Regime Personnel: The inhabitants of the Aperture are made up of members, employees, and collaborators of the Delegation, as well as their families. While many were killed in the Revolution or executed afterwards the survivors were locked in the ghetto. As it turns out some former regime supporters managed to engrain themselves with the Triumvirate, most notable Easton Turner. | |

Crapsaccharine World: The Delegation, at least from the perspective of it`s elite. To them it have a civilized, high society state where everyone was justly rewarded/punished for their behavior and in which modern technology was rapidly advancing. The only people actually treated harshly were vile criminals and terrorists. Needless to say as Sonya get`s more and more into contact with people not part of the regimes elite she begins to realize just how fake her seemingly perfect world actually was. | |

Electronic Eyes: Under the Delegation every citizen was equipped with the Insight Eye implant, as a projector for information and media, but also a camera constantly monitoring the person, rewarding/punishing them for their actions (see below). Since the Revolution only the people within the Aperture still have their Insights, everyone else had theirs removed or so they think. | |

Still, she has made peace with Alexander, and they have exposed Easton Turner for his involvement in the Regime and the Analogue Army. Ultimately Sonya leaves the Megalopolis behind to start a new life, in a place where nobody knows who she is, a place where she can finally be free. | |

Population Control | |
| Poster Girl / int_42d3be0b | comment |
Population Control: The Delegation enforced a strict One Child Policy on its citizens, allegedly due to the resource shortages in the Post Apocalyptic Society. Privileged Families like Sonya's could gain special exceptions, however. Meanwhile in the rest of society illegal children were taken away from their parents and put up for adoption or in some cases murdered when they were already old enough to possibly feel resentment over it. After the Rebellion the Triumvirate has returned many of these children to their parents though with others finding them has proven more difficult, such as Grace Ward, the girl Sonya is tasked with finding and the one she snitched out in the first place. | |

Fantastic Ghetto | |
| Poster Girl / int_45567321 | comment |
Fantastic Ghetto: Downplayed as the people in the Aperture are humans, but the place, made up of four housing blocks, serves as the prison for the former Elite of the Megalopolis. The inhabitants are largely left alone, beyond receiving low quality food and occasional clothing and other everyday items from donations. Rarely leaders of the Triumvirate or Journalists are allowed to enter. Being given regular sterilizing injections, the population of the ghetto is steadily dropping. Recently the Triumvirate allowed those still kids when they first entered to leave the Aperture, but for those who came as adults it will be the place they die. | |

Corrupt Politician: Easton Turner, one of the three heads of the Triumvirate and the main villain of the story. Not only has he been an ascociate of the old Delegation and is complicit in their child murder, he also has ties to the Analogue Army terrorist group (their leader possibly being his father). He also insincerly offers Alexander to release Sonya if she finds Grace Ward while doing what he can to obstruct their search. When they get too close to the truth he fires Alexander and tries to send Sonya back to the Aperture for good. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Emily Knocks is a mercenary hacker who works for whoever pays her be they Criminals or Governments, who likes to troll Sonya several times just because she can. But she does develop some genuine sympathy for her, to the point that in case of her death she leaves behind messages to help Sonya find Grace. She also wants to delete the Delegations database on everybody’s Insights so no one can abuse it anymore. Alexander as well. He is quite a jerk to Sonya during their first meetings but ultimatley he still cares for her. To the point he used what influence he had in the Triumvirate to get her this chance at freedom, and even risks (and ultimatley looses) his job to help her find Grace. | |

Would Hurt a Child: The Rebels had no problem with killing children of the Delegations elite during the revolution nor putting those survived in a ghetto for ten years. The Delegation meanwhile was even worse as Sonya`s father murdered several children just on the possibility alone that they might become a future threat for the regime. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Basically the Delegations MO, during their reign people would be punished by loosing Des Coin for the most absurd infractions. Not sitting straight, taking an uncommon last name in marriage and even women cutting their hair short are all examples mentioned in the story. The rich elite could easily afford these payments, but for the common people each of these infractions could threaten their entire existence. | |

BlackAndGreyMorality | |
| Poster Girl / int_588d766f | comment |
Black-and-Grey Morality: The Rebellion and the following Triumvirate have many problems such as having indiscriminately killed people associated with the Delegation during the Revolution, including children, and locked the survivors away in a ghetto. They also postponed the restoration of various civil liberties "until the Triumvirate has stabilized" and they lie to the people about being able to remove their Insight implants. But they are at least trying to build a better society, to reunite "illegal" children with their parents and eventually do allow those who were put in Aperture as children to return to society. Meanwhile the old Delegation pretty much had all of these negative aspects and more, enforcing a strict one child policy (outside of their own privileged families), constantly monitoring each and every step of their citizens, punishing them for the smallest of infractions, as well as murdering children just on the off chance that they might one day become a problem. | |

Selective Enforcement: Sonya eventually finds out that the Delegation would punish/reward people differently in the Des Coin system depending on which role they were meant to play in society. For example Sonya, who was chosen to become a Trophy Wife was punished harder for cursing than her sisters Susanna, who was chosen to become part of the Delegations leadership, implying the higher ones position the lesser the punishment. | |

Intrepid Reporter: Rose Parker, whose articles about the children of the Delegation played an important part in the Triumvirate relenting and allowing the youngest inmates to leave the Aperture. She offers to aid Sonya in the search for Grace in exchange for being allowed to ask her a few questions. Later she is also the one to help Sonya expose Easton Turner. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Poster Girl / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: While she never did anything particularly evil, beyond snitching on Grace Ward to her father Sonya starts out seeing herself and her family as victims of the rebels and follows main of the rules of the Delegation she was raised with, despite the regime having fallen ten years ago. As the story goes on her views begin to change further and further, as her walls of denial about the regime begin to crumble, eventually culminating in her learning the true extend of the regime’s crimes and her father’s complicitly in them, to the point she eventually reveals the full extent of them to the public. At the end of the story she works hard to build a new life for herself beyond what happened in the past. | |

I Reject Your Reality: Some inmates in the Aperture, particularly those of building 3 pretend that their high society is still in existence, holding formal dinner parties and weddings as if they weren't imprisoned in a ghetto. On a darker note most inmates also refuse to aknowledge the crimes of the Delegation, claiming their regime was only ever harsh against criminals and terrorists. | |

Women could work for the Delegation, but it's revealed that any girl who didn't demonstrate exceptional talent and intelligence from an early age was subtly pushed into the role of wife and mother. It's also mentioned that under the Delegation, commodities that were absolutely essential to survive like water were supposed to be free, however, menstrual products cost DesCoin. A small amount, but a clear indicator of what the largely male leadership considered "essential". | |

Starting a New Life: After ten years in the Aperture those who were still teenagers/children when they came there are allowed to leave. Taking on a new name they are allowed to reintegrate themselves into society. Sonya`s friends Ashley, Shona and Nicole all took this chance, amongst others, making Sonya the youngest person to remain in the Aperture at the beginning of the story. Ultimately this becomes Sonya's fate as well, though she keeps her name. She leaves the Megalopolis behind altogether and starts a new life in a place called Desert Eden where nobody knows who she is. Though she sends occasional letters back to the friends she has left. | |

Fictional Currency | |
| Poster Girl / int_bf1b02b | comment |
Fictional Currency: Desirability Coin, short Des Coin, was a currency introduced under the Delegation to reward/punish the people. Actions considered "good" like doing one’s job, being polite, eating healthy, always keeping a proper appearance, reporting rebellious or indecent activity would earn coin. Meanwhile cursing in public, premarital sex, eating unhealthily and other "indecencies" would see Des Cion deduced. The whole thing being monitored via a person's Insight. Even though the Des Coin System was ended ten years ago after the revolution Sonya still often thinks of it and how much Coin a certain action would have earned/cost. | |

Childless Dystopia: Downplayed as it only applies to the Aperture, where the inmates are given regular injections that keep them sterile. In combination with some of the youngest inmates being eventually allowed to leave, see below, 27 year old Sonya is the youngest inmate remaining in the ghetto after her friend Nicole leaves at the beginning of the story. After Sonya leaves at the end the only people still left are the ones who entered as adults. | |

Sex for Services: It is mentioned that some guards smuggle certain items into the Aperture, in exchange for 'favors' from good looking female inmates. Ultimatley discussed but averted in the story itself, as Sonya does fear that she might have engage in this to get a message out of the Aperture. Thankfully Williams, the guard, is nice enough to help her for free. | |

Weird Currency | |
| Poster Girl / int_d8fad039 | comment |
Weird Currency: Under the Delegation, non-perishable small luxury goods like mustard, pickles and candy were used as currency in the black market to avoid the transactions being tracked, because they were moderately high value, never expired, could be returned to the store for a full refund at any time if they were unopened and buying more of them than average didn't set off alarm bells. You would buy them at the store, trade them for what you wanted but couldn't legally buy to someone else, who would then return them to the store for their equivalent value in DesCoin. | |

Equal-Opportunity Evil | |
| Poster Girl / int_e993da98 | comment |
Equal-Opportunity Evil: Subverted. At first glance the Delegation was the standard YA novel authoritarian regime, which was totalitarian and ruled by a privileged elite but was also somehow completely colour- and gender blind. However, as the story progresses it becomes clear that they were institutionally racist and sexist. The Delegation had plenty of POC in positions of power, but Emily Knox (who is Asian) explains that everyone was financially incentivised to assimilate into the Delegation's heavily WASP-influenced culture and adopt Anglophone names, and that Sonya's family only kept their vaguely Russian/German (and vaguely Jewish) sounding last name "Kantor" because they could afford to. Sonya then remembers overhearing grownups at a dinner party saying that Nikhil (who is South Asian) made a smart decision by taking his white wife's name and naming his sons Aaron and Alexander. Women could work for the Delegation, but it's revealed that any girl who didn't demonstrate exceptional talent and intelligence from an early age was subtly pushed into the role of wife and mother. It's also mentioned that under the Delegation, commodities that were absolutely essential to survive like water were supposed to be free, however, menstrual products cost DesCoin. A small amount, but a clear indicator of what the largely male leadership considered "essential". We're never told how queer people were treated, but based on Sonya's surveillance file, same-sex attraction was considered a knock against you. | |
