I cried so much towards the end! This is a wonderful and emotional book, a story that is really well presented with the right words and characters.

I thought the book would be more sci-fi and was pleasantly surprised that it was very much about love. I loved all the characters because you saw them from different view points, themselves, others, you got a good sense of who they are and what they stand for. I look forward to reading the sequel.

Love the concept but there were a lot of cringey moments throughout the book and the main characters are somewhat unlikeable. I had a really hard time trying to get past the fact that Claire was groomed her whole childhood…. The last chapter had me a sobbing mess.

This is probably one of the most creative books I've read in awhile. About half-way through, I started to wonder how the heck she ever came up with this concept, and how she kept it all straight!

In addition to being creative, it was well-written (multiple points of view--yay!), touching, and extremely engaging. The reason it took me a little while to read is because I knew that if I picked it up again, I wouldn't be able to put it down, so I had to wait for a huge chunk of time to finish it. And it was worth it!
