The premise is fine, but I feel like all of the most boring and predictable choices were made with everything from the characters to the world building. I listened to this on audiobook and didn't care for the narrator's style, it made the already fairly whiny protagonist sound even whinier. I zoned out for chunks of the story, but the whole story was such a basic interpretation of its premise that I could just fill in the blanks of whatever I missed. YA Dystopia color-by-numbers, basically.
