I get it. It's Bonnie & Clyde in space for teens. But like...why? What's the whole purpose of this book? They don't seem like they're having fun or being outlaws yeehaw (tm). Everyone is so s a d. And like yeah their lives are hard but Jiminy Christmas after the First Act I stopped feeling bad for them.
Cyrus and his side of things was way more interesting than the star crossed Lovers. Lots of predictability, but he had character growth and motivations that were *interesting*. Oy.
Also...I get it. They live in places without much sun. But like...do they all have to be Arian? Like the palest, whitest, blondest? And Ava is only different because she's *brunette* wow. It's space. Take a chance.
I did like the author's writing and prose. I think that's what kept me going, truly. So I might see what their next book is like.
