I honestly just found this book kind of frustrating and left it feeling more confused than when I started - which it just feels like that is not the goal of reading a book...
I loved the idea that it was a dystopian world and some of the twists were well done, but there were just too many things that didn't work for me.
I didn't like the characters which makes it really REALLY hard when it's a dystopian... I didn't care if they lived... and they were definitely not developed enough for me. There are 3 main characters whose basic trait is that they are constantly talking about or to someone else. You don't actually learn a lot about the characters themselves. It was frustrating to keep feeling like I didn't care if they lived or died - I should be rooting for dystopian characters to survive!!!!
I think my biggest issue though were the holes in the story. A lot are spoilery, so I will hide them for now.
I think this book had a lot more potential but so many things fell short. Not to mention, the POVs and writing just didn't flow for me. It felt really choppy from one scene to another. I almost dnfed this book, but I wanted to see if it got better. And the ending was so... meh.
Hopefully you enjoy more than me!
