Such an interesting book, the first book I borrowed from a new boyfriend which was ironic since my name is Julia. I love dystopian books and actually chose not to read this in school so that I could enjoy it more. I’m glad I read it and I may have to re read at some point in the future because I read it over such a long period of time that I don’t think I enjoyed it to the fullest extent.
