The only thing that I genuinely didn’t like  is how many of the female characters have a thing for Shuya, it may seem like a knit pick but even his actual love interest seems a bit forced. Which probably speaks more to what content was removed from the book as it was edited throughout the writing process.

Okay so, imagine the hunger games but they’re all 15 years old, classmates and the book is ridiculously violent.
