it's very interesting how the story plays out, you don't except most of the plot, the only REALLY predictable thing is the ending, for obvious reasons.

This book was really sweet, and I enjoyed reading it. The ending was a bit underwhelming, but it matched real life and made me think about life in a really beautiful way. 
The book offered an intersection of escapism—with a scifi style premise—and an ordinary slice-of-life story.

This book is definitely dark and handles a lot of potentially triggering topics very honestly. Because of the perspective shifts, you hear some really dark thoughts in different characters’ minds.

First things first: Silvera has a major talent for characterization. Everyone in this book is now my best friend. The set up of this book is exactly like There There by Tommy Orange. The multi pov isn't my favorite, and I could have done without it. The bright side is that it led us into the worldbuilding aspects and how this construct affects society through individual experiences.  The ending annoyed me though. It did make me shed a tear. Some subplots were just completely unnecessary though. It was okay.

My only complaint about this book is that the beginning is a little slow. But I love this book so, so much. It's one of my absolute favorites.
