I was super invested in this in the beginning but I think I wanted more out of it. I think the societal commentary was great but I wish it wasn’t all wrapped up in the last chapter and that we knew more about the outside world.

2.5 ☆ I loved the idea of this book but literally nothing happened till around 60% in? Also I didn’t really connect to a single one of these characters, they were a bit mysterious but like a bit boring.

A lot said it was like a dark love island which I kind of get but there was literally no relationships so was a bit of a let down overall unfortunately.
