America is so indecisive, I just can't. Anne was my favorite character. And Celeste is a bitch. So yeah, that's all I gotta say about this book.

I must admit that this was a stick & easy read. & honestly, I'm also thrilled to read the next book of the series - although many aspects bothered me.
first of all, America. she's just so different, unique & just herself. all of the girls suffer from internal misogyny, it's so heartbreaking honestly.
the love triangle is also just so unnecessary - maybe just in my eyes because I haaate this trope. 
also, the diversity?? yeah. 0. all whities ofc. I already expected just straights so I'm not surprised.
the world building was a huge let down. it kinda confused me.. a lot

I would have eaten this book up if I had read this in middle school. Now I’m not really into love triangles. It fits into the Divergent, Hunger Games, Giver, Matched, etc theme I was reading back then. I think the world being built on what caste you’re in is an interesting take. It’s very much needed in this day and age to realize your privilege even though there isn’t a government mandated caste (sometimes it can feel like there is).

I don’t know if I’ll read the next book. I hate second hand embarrassment and I can tell that not telling Maxon about Aspen is not going to be good.
