This was really easy to read fast, so it definitely kept my attention but it doesn’t seem like the kind of book i would be thinking about for a long time. It was an
interesting concept, but not written well enough to feel completely thrown into this utopian world and needing to know what happens next. Also talk about an unsatisfactory ending!

I’m glad it seems to have ended well for Gabe and Jonas but UGH endings written like this are my biggest pet peeve.

This book was great. I recommend it to everyone who likes dystopian books or wants to get into dystopian books.

Child death ->

There is a not very graphic scene were a baby is killed using a syringe of poison

Animal death ->

There is a not very graphic scene that takes place before the book itself in which an elephant is killed by poachers

Suicide ->

There is a story told by one of the main characters about another character intentionally applying for release (in this book "release" basically means putting someone down in a hospital. Kinda like putting down a dog, except with humans
