I think this book is misadvertised in some ways. While I think it’s nice to see mainstream poly rep, I wish the relationship with Kara was more fleshed out. I think the relationship with Johnny made up too much of the book, especially given that the premise of the book is such a potentially interesting plot and had a lot of opportunities to explore the very cool themes and issues it raised if the story wasn’t so focused on a romance plot line. Also it played into the very overused chosen one girl trope of the 2010s dystopian YA and I don’t think it was done particularly well
