Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for access to this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Okay, I'mma be real with y'all. I requested this book on NetGalley because I saw the hype it was getting and I didn't think I would actually get approved. Low and behold I did, and honestly, I'm so happy I did end up requesting this book. You can tell the author was inspired by the Hunger Games, but she still made the story uniquely hers. Honestly this book is very relevant today to what's happening in the US as well.
I love a good enemies to lovers, and boy did this book bring that. The world building was also developed well, and there were points where my friends literally had to snap me out of the book because they were talking to me and I literally could not hear them over how invested I was in this book. This book might have convinced me to try Ava Reid's other books as well. Also, I highly recommend reading the authors note in the beginning of the book (if it's in the final version), because it really gives insight into what Reid was thinking while writing this, and it only elevates the story more.
