Ma'am, Ms, Marie, They Are Children. How Dare You.
Soooo APPERENTLY they are not allowed to have family. Only found family (which is okay) who may or may not betray their trust.
Very fast paced, moved along well and I loved the few chapters when neither June nor Day knew the other was the one that wanted something from them, hilarious.

Divergent meets Handmaids tale meets hunger game(ish)! It’s a YA book so doesn’t have five star development for me, but it was exciting and for once not vulgar :) I wanted more action from Day instead of just hearing about it.

Does a Mary Sue cancel out a Gary Sue?  This book was so boring to me, both the main characters are perfect, they have no flaws, the world building is meh.  I just wish either character had a single negative flaw.  Mindless listening on my commute but I won't be reading any more.  The funniest part is the author making Drake University the top school in the nation.

I absolutely loved this book! It kinda caught me off guard in a really good way and it was a suprising romance novel. There were so many things that I just wasn’t expecting. I love the characters and how they are developed throughout the book as well!

I have no idea why this has 4 stars on Goodreads. It would be a stretch for me to give it 2.5. Poor characterization, predictable plot. Male character reads like a girl. The only real plus is well-written action scenes.

I liked the characters decently and loved the idea for the plot, but the writing is pretty bad. For example, I understand that June and Day are supposed to be smart, but it gets to a point where it's annoying how  quickly they solve things. There are also some parts where it's super analytical and boring (not a direct quote, just an example of a similar scene: "We were moving at x feet per second. We needed to travel x feet. But the 23 soldiers were moving faster than us, and they'd catch up to us at x feet.")

Holy Hell!!! I loved this book! So freaking good. Its ridiculous. June and Day...Ugh.. I love them. Thomas....I just wish I could stab him most of the time. Haha. I'm sad that I'm sitting at work without the other book in front of me. Now I will have to wait till tonight to continue.

I'm coming to realize that I'm not very good at reviews....I just gush about how much I love or hate it and thats the end...sorry. :) Thats really all anyone needs to know though...
