3.0

the pacing was very slow and it seemed like not much was happening except at the very beginning and end, although it was an interesting premise, I somehow couldn't stop comparing it to other books with similar themes (hunger games, shatter me, etc.) and how it pales in comparison, a lot of the side characters are one dimensional with very set roles and surface level motivations so I was not invested in any of their stories
the book does not stand out for me and was very predictable
