It was a good book, I’ll give it that. It made me reflect on my own life, which is always a good thing, in my opinion. I just didn’t care all that much about the characters, other than the boy and he didn’t end up playing that much of a role in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dystopia and living in the present. I didn’t connect much with the characters, but I didn’t dislike any of them either. It was a good book, just not a great one.

What did I just read? This story had so much going on with a really amazing concept and idea and while I thought the writing to be a little not-so-well paced, i.e. a six year time jump that isn't mentioned until several chapters later, and I found the ending to be a bit lackluster imo, the world in this novel is just astounding. With that in mind, it would be criminal to give this book less than four stars and something I'd recommend to anyone who likes really weird and interesting worlds.

I’m so happy I came across this!!! It’s just so perfect. Short (I wish I could continue reading it forever) but perfectly paced and introspective. Also just super fun and interesting 10/10 would recommend
