A well written book that's not really my thing. I'm not big on scifi dystopia or alien invasion. That said, I enjoyed the book. I liked the main characters, Bo and Violet, a lot. They're relatable, easy to get behind, and I always felt like I understood their reasoning behind making some rather terrible decisions. Violet in particularl has a period of (to me) being the textbook unlikable character--she's completely selfish and insecure, but given her past (both recent and old) and that, yea, she's sometimes an insecure teenager, I never had any doubt/misunderstanding of why she did what she did.

Seems like a good example of a book with young adult characters that is written for an adult audience. Doesn't really had YA themes, and some of the violence/torture is a bit intense.
