Wow! Just wow! So much good social commentary from a futuristic point of view. The romance is so good but not the main focus. Major plot twist with such lovable characters. Made me laugh and cry leaving me with a book hangover. Hell yeah, Ambrose and Kodiak!

For a book where most of what actually happens is relentlessly grim, a strangely gentle read. The whole thing is very tropey and none of the twists will likely actually surprise you, but the journey matters more than the destination. I have to say the emotional build-up early on feels a bit rushed, but then, our main characters are seventeen year old boys, so.
