I read this book for the first time back when i was 16, closeted, and suicidal. It was what i needed to hear at the time, and became my favourite.

It’s ten years later. I’m 26, i’m out, and i’m free. a lot has changed. The book isnt as impactful for me anymore, but it’s also not what i need to hear anymore. i’m glad i had it when i did.

This was a case where I judged a book by its cover (I thought it looked cool!) and then was NOT disappointed.

I was instantly hooked on the story when it began with Seth’s death. It was pretty slow, at the beginning, when he was all alone, but once the second section of the book came along, I was not going to put it down.

There were twists and turns the entire time, and I was wanting to read more and more to figure out what the hell was happening.

And honestly? I was still confused at the end. But it wasn’t a BAD thing. It was a good feeling of confusion — the way that I want to feel after reading a good science fiction novel.

A feeling of unease at the end is the perfect way to end a good sci-fi story, in my opinion.

Oh, and my favorite character was Regine. Her story was absolutely heartbreaking.

What just happened?? What? I don’t even know how to process this, I was on board until the middle. 
this had so much potential to be cool if it just got proofread a bit and maybe didn’t steal the plot twist. the whole ending i wanted to slap him for being so annoying. i audibly complained so often that my mom had to ask me to be quiet, but it was a fun, quick read, but check trigger warnings!

when they introduced the whole matrix thing i was so disappointed

so very very good, but I can't possibly come up with a fulfilling ending on my own - still, I can appreciate why it ended the way it did
