I had been wanting to read this book for a while, and I'm glad I did. While I thought it was a bit of a hard read and wasn't too into it, it was definitely necessary. A dystopian world and the never-ending complications that come with it seem closer than we think in reality. It made me accept that there's not always going to be a happy ending. Some storylines were left unresolved, and we just have to sit with that.
