This book was INSANE. I got double plot twisted ?!?! I did NOT pick up this book expecting a dystopia but I got it all the same.
The extracts from the gleaning journals each chapter was a nice touch. The characters were also very impressive with their choices and reactions.
The author who came up with the idea for this too O-O The whole concept of “splatting” was so stunning to me but… if there’s no pain or death then why not 🙈
Anyways I was very impressed by this book and would recommend it.
My reasoning for not giving it as 5 was because I wasn’t really emotionally attached to a lot of the events / scenes and I felt like some of the characters actions/ events were not really justified or explained clearly enough.
