I'm not yet ready to discuss how fucking sad this makes me feel. Sadthinkful, if you will. I expected to feel bummed out sometimes, but this differentiates itself from other dystopian pieces by being the absolute bleakest shit of all time. Like, there were turns in the story where I physically felt my heart just crush and drop while reading. Anyway, exceptionally good literature, but you already knew that.
