For you If you Want to Feel Seen, to Escape, and to be Emotionally Understood

Welcome to my world – the home of Coded Life: Remember Your Words, Book 1, my YA dystopian slow-burn fantasy that blends:

  • the raw emotion of Shatter Me
  • the controlled society of Divergent
  • the high-stakes tension of The Hunger Games
  • the soft rebellion of Delirium and Matched

I’m Fanni Donath, a storyteller who writes about secrets, forbidden creativity, and the fragile threads that connect us in worlds where reality doesn’t always play by the rules.

If you’re searching for emotional escapism, slow-burn romance, and twisty worlds that hold a mirror to your heart – you’re home.

You’re here because you want a story that…

1

Give you emotional escape

A place to disappear into when life feels overwhelming.
A world that heals rather than drains you.

2

Make you feel understood

You want characters who feel real – not perfect, not emotionless, but vulnerable, anxious, passionate.

3

Offer a soft, slow-burning love story

Not instalove.
Not toxic chaos.
But the deep, simmering connection of “it’s always been you.”

4

5

Rebellion, and tension

A society built on rules.
Secrets under the surface.
A heroine who just wants to breathe.

Make you feel something

Goosebumps. Heartache. Hope.
A story you feel all the way through.

Divergent: A society built on control & secrets

The Hunger Games: High stakes & quiet rebellion

Not the same plot, but the same electrifying atmosphere of a world watching, judging, expecting you to break.

Delirium: Soft rebellion, forbidden feelings, poetic undertones

If you loved the emotional awakening + controlled society dynamic, this book will hit those same soft notes.

Matched – Aesthetic dystopia with a tender romantic thread

If you loved the subtle beauty, the tension beneath perfection, the quiet unraveling of truth, Coded Life will feel familiar.

This isn’t a copy of these stories.
It’s a blend of what your loved most:
emotion, tension, rebellion, romance, and soul.


In a world where everyone dies at 50.
Art is forbidden. Creativity erased.
But one girl begins to question everything.
And one boy is willing to break the rules for her.

In this YA Dystopian Fantasy you’ll question everything.

Book Reviews

Rating: 5 out of 5.

“The book introduces fascinating concepts, such as a society where everyone has a set lifespan of fifty years and creativity is controlled by scientists. It’s truly unlike anything I’ve read before, and I was immediately drawn in by the unique plotline. In this world, status is determined by whether or not you possess the scientist gene, creating a divide between the privileged and the general population. The slow-burn romance adds yet another layer to this epic tale. A must-read for YA Fantasy enthusiasts!”

“It’s an easy-to-read romantic fantasy that draws you in quickly because of the lovable characters and the dystopian world. The ending is twisted, preparing you for the next part. I can not wait for the next book. A perfect first book from the author. I really recommend it.”

“Fantasy is at its best when the reader can submerge into a whole new world, filled with the never-seen. And Coded Life is like that. It must be appraised for its creativity – you think you know what you see, and then a snippet of information makes your card castle fall, and you have to rebuild everything. This complicated story somehow manages to look simple, only to surprise you with its sudden depth around every corner! Be prepared to put it down with the feel of “I don’t understand a thing, but it all makes perfect sense”. I loved it!”

— Krisz Nadasi, writer & editor
