I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would! The development of the main character, Asha, is inspiring. This book made me laugh, it made me angry, it made me hopeful. The story-telling is great, I really enjoyed Asha’s POV and the pacing was perfectly done.
I couldn’t rate it 5 stars mostly due to the fact that Cyrus is an insufferable character that everyone sucked up to for what reason?! I see why the author chose to write him in this way, especially towards the end. Asha for the win! But still… I wouldn’t read it again purely because of his character. The other characters are great and well developed. I love Destiny, Jules and Li Ann.
Overall, a really great read. I enjoyed it!
