I really enjoyed this book. I liked the concept behind the main character and the overall world. The chapters were nice and short which made it a really easy read.  I'm unsure what to make of Adam as a character but I love Kenji and Juliette atm. I hear book lovers have so much love for Warner but I haven't seen much to prove these feelings yet. I'm very interested to see where this series goes.

This was an amazing book that I could barely bring myself to put down with dystopian themes and lines that will pull at your heartstrings. I would definitely recommend reading this! I’m am definitely going to get the series as soon as I have a chance to!
