Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:

Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
sadly, this one started off so intriguing and heart pounding, but it fell kinda flat after that 🙃
I love a good ol mind control premise, especially when it has to do with sci fi advancements and not a divine intervention (*cough* manifest *cough*)! so I was super into the beginning and the mystery of the government hiding certain events!
the intrigue, however, ended there. the characters were capable of only making bad decisions and wandering off on their own. literally, they did nothing else.
and don’t even get me started on their parents. for being labeled helicopter parents, they sure were pretty lenient about their high school children 🤨
the ending was a little too wrapped up and HEA for this kind of story. I wanted an ambiguous sci-fi ending, and instead, I got “and all was well and right in the world.” and I was like … alrighty then?
it just felt super unedited and disjointed for me, but I loved the premise!!
thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!
