I found it excellently written, smooth and easy to read. The characters were mostly realistic and the situations believable for the world they’re in.
Definitely recommend.

I think that I just wanted more from this book. I will probably read the sequel though.

This is a dystopian novel to end all dystopian novels. Deeply unsettling, yet steeped in reality, in trends of the past and hope for the future.
Lauren’s character was so compelling throughout. Her wisdom and her hope, despite having no reason to believe in a better world, pushed me through the darkness and grittiness of this novel. I can understand why this book has found itself in “current events” sections in bookstores and libraries.
