Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Nostalgic dystopian. Had me hooked.
Enemies to lovers—drawn out a little with the miscommunication trope and FMC willfull blindness to MMC intentions. Which grew a little frustrating and came across more as a way to prolong the inevitable rather than meaningful tension/conflict.
Some of the references to America and current world tech etc made it a little corny & America-centric.
I think some of the grit was missing, I can understand the found family dynamic but I think we missed the build/meaningful interactions to feel connected to the side characters —showing not telling.
Either way, still devoured this and the sequel, keen for the next.
