Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. This book was a lot. Pretty traumatizing, especially at the beginning but once I got into the plot I couldn’t put it down. I would love to sit down and analyze this book to pieces with someone. It broke me for a while after reading it. Check the trigger warnings because there was a lot but if you’re interested in a feminist dystopian where you don’t know how it’s going to end—definitely check it out!

This is the best distopia I have ever read!!
PLEASE READ THIS, here’s a few reasons;
•Hunger games but feminist but also •stand alone and no love triangle or technology 
•Enemies to lovers but not quite 
•Friends to lovers but not quite
•Silent revolution 
•Bring down the patriarchy 
•Really strong and badass main character 
• amazing plot twist
• every woman has an amazing power within themselves 
• beautiful family bond
• low-key lgbtqia+ representative (with phobia so beware) 
• so well written 
• really empowering 
• Almost none named male characters 
• “trust no one, not even yourself”
