While I appreciate the topic and the discussions this book brings, I can’t bring myself to rate this higher. I just felt like nothing happened for like 80%. I also didn’t like how this was told and took me out of the story and didn’t let me connect with the characters and feel their struggles in this dystopian world. I’m glad I finally read this especially in this current climate.
