Overall, I really enjoyed it. Reading this book gave me a strange sense of deja-vu.
I am aware this particular dystopian topic isn't for everybody. It hits really close to home (IYKYK).
Jumping back and forth between timelines and POVs really helped get a clearer view of the story and got you to meet the characters better. This strategy also kept you wanting to read on, just to find out what happens next.
It did leave me with certain questions at the end, but I think this is what made it such a great read for me. I like an open ending, that leaves me thinking about it.
