When I started I thought it was a bit naive but I got pretty sucked into it and now I’m really curious to see how it unfolds because of the love triangle. 

I find the main character to be quite likeable and I’m excited to see the romance develop further. The world doesn’t have insane lore/ world building but I don’t mind because even tho it’s a dystopia I’d say the romance aspect takes on a much more important role to the story. 

It’s not really violent explicitly but it’s a bit ‘spicy’ at times so might not be the best for everyone. Overall an easy read i recommend.

America is so indecisive, I just can't. Anne was my favorite character. And Celeste is a bitch. So yeah, that's all I gotta say about this book.

I definitely like the book. Don't love it though. There is many clichés, which the book exaggerates. There's a love triangle, and tons of drama. (Low-key was rooting for the side love interest and not the main one.) I don't like the fact that the main character seemed to be 100% the girl who's winning the selection from the very beginning. The book made her "pretty" and "smart" and "not like other girls", which to me is a very annoying cliché. Still, the book is overall great and wholesome (most of the time). Parts of the book focuses on war and classism. Its fast pace is probably the main reason why it's so hard to put it down! Literally, I read it all in one sitting. Definitely doing to read the sequels.
