This was a very funny book. I caught myself laughing quite a lot.
For me this was a great book to read and would recommend. It’s not a 5 stars because i thought there was something missing. Hope this helps!

Although it’s probably not the best written book in the world, I really enjoyed it. At first glance it really seems like every other 2010s YA novel, but I really enjoy the plot and the characters. I fell in love with Maxon immediately, and pull for him and America so much. Aspen is… a different story. I’m not a fan of him.
I love the romance plot. The fact that I’m basically reading The Bachelor is so fun. But I also love the other plot - the war. I feel like I can already see where Cass is going with it - that more is hidden under what the government is telling us. At times, it feels like I’m reading a dystopian novel, and I love it. I want to know more about the history and the rebels. I want to find out what they really want. Because everything below the surface feels different than what it seems. I can’t wait to see how it progresses.
Although I have zero doubts that Maxon and America will end up together, I’m excited to see where everything else in the story goes.

I have read and reread this book three times. I still love it, but Aspen is an asshole and this is the hill I am willing to die on. Maxon can be kinda thick too.

I really wanted to give this book five stars but the thing is it’s short the scenes are a bit fast at times and not as detailed as I would have preferred but nonetheless I enjoyed every part of this book the story was very much to my liking

I really enjoyed the book. It was nice and refreshing to read. I would give it a higher rating but I don't feel like it was the BEST. I hope the next book has more romance

I remembered when this book released and hold this series had on me. This was among my favorite series.
Having re-read this book, I will say that I hold some fondness for this series and the characters.
This book was alright. I think fondness has me rating it three stars. The characters weren't bad, but they were a little flat. The relationships were basic and the love triangle had me rolling my eyes. The writing style was a struggle stay engaged with. The plot was basic and predictable, and fondness helped me read the book in an afternoon.
