It took me a while to like this book because I felt like it was lacking true dystopian qualities. After finishing it though, I'm excited about the rest of the series.

I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would when I first started reading it. After the first few chapters I was totally hooked and didn't want to put my kindle down. Can't wait to get started on the next book

  • as far as YA goes, this book is great. as good as I remember
  • obviously Tally is pretty childish (she’s 16 and sheltered) and the plot is a bit predictable, but the themes are actually super super interesting and complex
  • also, it’s a super quick and engaging read 
  • the world is super interesting too… I love a good dystopian moment
  • the romance between
    david and tally
    falls a little flat to me though if I’m being honest.
    I mean, it feels like they barely interact before they like each other.

I liked it! 3.5 stars, mostly cuz I feel like I've 4 stars too easily and should start being a little more stingy or something.
