This book was just weird. It's not the sex stuff that was weird. I don't mind weird sex stuff. It's that the dystopia didn't seem realistic. At the same time, parts felt boring. Parts of the world haven't changed, yet parts are so different. 

At the end, it tries to wrap things up, but it doesn't feel successful.

I got sucked into the middle of this, but the ending left me with an unsatisfied feeling and not in a good way. Compared to what I thought the book was going to be delving into, the end seemed to wrap everything up with a bow even though it wasn’t exactly happily ever after. I thought I was going to be more unsettled than I actually was.
