Finally finished this book 8 months later!

Overall this book had a really interesting concept for a Dystopian novel and really think I would’ve enjoyed it. However, the execution just wasn’t there. The writing honestly wasn’t good at all. There were a lot of plot holes and a lot of parts that confused me.

I’m still pretty confused. I can’t even keep any of the characters straight outside of Linus, Burnham, and of course Rosie (who’s name I literally just had to go look up because I couldn’t remember)

I rlly liked the romance side plot for Rosie and Linus but also sort of for her and Burnham. Idk who she will end up with. If she even survives bc tf was that ending?

Idk this book was really interesting but it just wasn’t good. The only reason I finally finished it bc I’m trying to get through all my current reads and I just can’t DNF. So yeah.

I don’t recommend this book at all and won’t be posting a review on insta. I do however would be very interested in a movie or another book with a similar concept that was better executed.

I will however, be looking up summaries of the next two books bc I am curious what happens but I just cannot sit and read it.
