This book is not particularly well-written. The characters are pretty generic YA dystopian, it’s unrealistic in many ways, and I don’t really get who Juliette is. That being said, the vibe of the book is right up my alley. The freeform and intrusive thoughts and weird metaphors and all that stuff is super fun and vibey to me, and I really love reading about crazy girls.

An excellent start - with a new spin - to what I assume will be a great dystopian series.

I found this one a bit difficult to get into initially, but once I was in it, I was truly in it! The action is excellent, even though it feels like not much happens, a ton does. And a lot of the world building also coincides with character development which makes it more interesting.

I'm excited to read on in the series and see how things go for Juliette, Adam, and even Warner.
