Bruh. I received this book as a Christmas present like 5 years ago, and I finally got round to reading it, and I'm honestly surprised. Since the synopsis was quite vague, I wasn't 100% sure what to expect - the book went in an entirely different direction than anticipated. I feel like some parts of the story were disconnected from each other, and I wish the ending happened at a bit of a slower pace to match the rest of the book

This was a really, really well constructed mystery dystopia. I finally got around to reading this and I do not regret it at all, it’s tense, emotional, and everything works together until the very end. 

Thomas is such a fun protagonist and I love seeing his interactions with the others, Chuck, Teresa, Minho, Alby. They’re all such fun. To anyone who has any doubts about this series do check it out, it was worth all the fuss.
