I like it, but I feel like I was left hanging.
The book starts of strong and I am immediately invested in the characters and what's happening. I am a suckered for anything dystopian, so I was in it. It's such a simple read and easy to follow along, given the fact that it takes place in an other worldly society. I honestly just wished there was something more, like why weren't there other people alive or what was going on in this society and that made it this way. However, I can understand that those were not meant to be the main points of the book. I personally felt like it had a strong start, but then the ending, I felt like something was missing. All notes aside, I enjoyed the book though!
