The Shutouts by Gabrielle Korn

2.5

This was a bit of a disappointment for me as I quite liked the first book (Yours For The Taking). I liked the dystopian world-building still, though the characters felt less compelling than in the first book. Half of the book is written in letter form, which felt a bit like a lazy way to pass off inelegant writing. The very end was also too schmaltzy for me and did not fit the tone of the rest of the book.
Overall, it was still a quick and easy read and I don't regret my time with it.
