Solid YA dystopian book. Enjoyable on its own terms, doesn't get too far into poorly written swoony teenage relationship stuff.

2.0

can’t bring myself to rate this any higher. it was just, kinda, boring. also it felt unrealistic that Day and June were 15 y/o. I think 16 or 17 would have made more sense.

I enjoyed this book, and while I think that certain parts could have been more developed or elaborated on, it worked well. I would have liked a little more world building, and a little more relationship development, but that is my personal preference.
