3.0

Overall, I liked this book. I can completely picture future society with a lot of the features and attitudes that were shown here. I had 3 problems with it though 1) the whole idea of sixteen being all about sex. Yes, I see the sexualization of young girls in our society, but for it to so ingrained and rape practically accepted was hard for me to buy into. 2) The bad character(s) were all bad - no good at all. 3) it wrapped up WAY to quickly. When I had about 50 pages left I thought "there will have to a be a follow up, but then the entire thing went into fast forward and ended. It felt unsatisfying in that regard.
