I enjoyed the political bits, but that's it. I enjoyed Celeste's redemption arc more than America's character and lack of thought. I also hated that Aspen calls Anne 'rigid'-I know it probably wasn't meant this way but it seems to imply that she has to be open and sweet and stereotypically nice all the time.

I read this book in one day. I originally started this series not expecting much beyond a naive romance story however I can now say it’s much more than that. 

This book progressed quickly from the start, with multiple plot points and key moments coming in fast. Then, about halfway, it started to take a very emotional turn, so much so I even cried at the end. 

Overall, this book really exceeded my expectations. Am I mad about (spoiler alert) Celeste being killed off right after having the best character development ever?? Yes. And I think that’s what makes this book so great - I’ve gotten so genuinely attached to the characters that I simply want nothing bad to happen to them in their messed up world. 

I’m really looking forward to seeing how the books progress for the last two parts. The story has got me hooked and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!!
