This was an okay book. It felt like Isla was being played by every single person in the book. I didn’t really get the romance part at all. Not sure if I’ll read the sequel.

 I will always love a dystopian plotline in my books. There was a few things plot wise that I didn't really enjoy, but otherwise I can't wait until the rest of the books come out so I can see how Paige's journey turns out.

Listened to on Audible. If I ever reread I will use a physical book over audible.

3.5 Stars.  I flew through this book and loved the beginning/end of it.  But the middle was where I really didn't like fml.  It felt like she couldn't make up her mind.  It made no sense to me why she had done what she did?  Still a quick and easy read.
