This was a pretty fun book. I love the dystopian theme. The plot felt extremely rushed though, Jago and Sarah fall in love after 2 days or something?
Either way, since I can’t deal with open endings, I’m obviously going to read the other two as well.

I really liked the plot, but I hated the characters and I found it to be a bit confusing at times because of all the POVs

I enjoyed reading this book but after a while the ending seemed obviouse, some scenes just left me horrified. I really didn't want to like some of the characters, especially Sarah she was really agitating! Christopher was really the only character I didn't mind and I felt really bad for him most of the time.
Non ho mai letto tante idiozie tutte insieme in vita mia, giuro :')

Short Review: This was an interesting book for sure. So all these kids have to figure out clues to save their "line", which i am a bit confused on, is that line all their family or all the people where they live, and whats stopping others from moving to the area when they notice someone is getting close to being a winner, would they live at that point or no? That aside. I hate Christopher. I had the audio book and i can say with 100% truth, don't get the audio, read the actual book. They have one narrator for all the POVs which is the biggest pet peeve i have, and some of it is horrible read out loud. At one point i thought my book was stuck repeating some shit, but no, it's how it was supposed to be read...
