When I started I thought it was a bit naive but I got pretty sucked into it and now I’m really curious to see how it unfolds because of the love triangle. 

I find the main character to be quite likeable and I’m excited to see the romance develop further. The world doesn’t have insane lore/ world building but I don’t mind because even tho it’s a dystopia I’d say the romance aspect takes on a much more important role to the story. 

It’s not really violent explicitly but it’s a bit ‘spicy’ at times so might not be the best for everyone. Overall an easy read i recommend.

This book was most definitely enjoyable. I genuinely couldn’t put it down and I am now writing this at 1:30am lol. It’s a fast lighthearted read and was just a good time. Technically, this book is not very good. It’s not bad but America can be very “not like other girls” and the writing certainly isn’t anything special. But, oh my god, it is so entertaining. It was cringey and funny and frustrating. Definitely something I would have gotten more out of if I read it when I was a bit younger but Maxon still got me giggling and shit so it’s fine 🤪 mostly what I got out of this is that friends to lovers is just the superior trope.

Hunger Games meets "The Bachelor", and I hate it
Everything I liked about the Hunger Games isn't in this book (esp. Katniss being independet), and the whole concept about "The Bachelor" is stupid.

The few parts I liked were America (what? why? who uses this as name?) kicking the Prince's cojones and being kind to her maids.

I'll continue reading this series, because I want to know, what the rebels want.
