3.0

This was really easy to read fast, so it definitely kept my attention but it doesn’t seem like the kind of book i would be thinking about for a long time. It was an
interesting concept, but not written well enough to feel completely thrown into this utopian world and needing to know what happens next. Also talk about an unsatisfactory ending!

I’m glad it seems to have ended well for Gabe and Jonas but UGH endings written like this are my biggest pet peeve.
