This was such an interesting read. I went into it not knowing what to expect and really was taken in by the story. The competition, battle royale aspect, and "villains" were all really well done. I think I struggled to connect a bit with the main character and I wish the influence of the wealth family had been shown instead of just talked about to have a bit more impact. If you liked Hunger Games or The Belles this is a good follow up.
