I think I missed the time frame where I would have eaten this up.  There's a lot of world building that happens that is super intriguing but the romance element is juvenile (intentionally since it makes sense for the characters) but I cannot stop cringing.

I don't know if I will continue, I might read the Destroy Me novella since it's at the end of my copy from the library and see how I feel about it then.

I LOVED KENJI AND JAMES. the book is a bet boring and there’s too much details, it could’ve been a 100 page book.

I love it it would get 5 stars but IT NEEDS TO BE LONGER like I felt it was very rushed (even though their is like 8 more books ) I felt it was too short for my liking.

let's say that i'm intrigued because it reminds me of the divergent and that feels like one big nostalgia. even though i cringed at some points of the book, i'll continue to truly see whether it is worth the hype for people my age…

Aaron Warner after the first one hundred pages is just chef kiss. Adam doesn’t know what consent means.

Couldn’t put it down. Definitely buy books 2&3 before reading because you’ll want to pick them up immediately afterwards. Don’t make my mistake and not own either🥹

I really liked the first bit, but the romance and writing got steadily cringier🥴
I’m so biased against dystopian tho; I’d say for a dystopian it was pretty good. I immediately read book 2 to see if I would like the ml better.
