I thoroughly enjoyed this! Its vibes felt a little like The Selection, mostly in the reality TV aspect. The world building was well done, and though the story really focused on plot over character, I was in for the ride! The world that Park has created is fascinating, and I'm excited to see more of it in a second book.

There are a lot of twists and turns by the end, even if I could see some of them coming. I also appreciated that this is a dystopia with basically no romance. So definitely bonus points for that!

I have two reactions: 1. I’m just flabbergasted WTF did I just read! 2. This was such an interesting story! I felt like at the last quarter of the book there was A LOT going on so it felt like too much was stuffed towards the end. I liked the fmc (not so much in the beginning) I was really engaged with her choices but I didn’t connect with her much or the other characters. There is more to the story as it’s a duology I don’t know if I will continue the series though since I didn’t connect with the characters. Overall I really enjoyed this crazy ride.
