(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
An Echo in the City being dual POV allows Song to tell a story about the personal nature of resistance. Of knowing that for each of us, each situation, what we can do and how we can use our voice differs. It's a story about feeling like we are on a track in life and not knowing how we can break free. As a teen, we can have all these visions of what our life will be like, the paths our parents force us to walk, but what if it could be different. An Echo in the City explores loyalty, class, and opportunity.

I tried to give this book a chance, really I did, but at 40% I made the decision to DNF. The book was just so slow and boring. Also, the way the main characters' ages were talked about made me feel creeped out.
If you are okay with an extremely drawn-out story with hits of politics then you might like this story.
