 I enjoyed the two perspectives in this book however I feel that it would have been better if it was a duology where each book was able to delve further into each perspective. I also did feel that this book read more on a middle grade level than a YA level. However, I did enjoy the book and loved how the teenagers were at the center of creating the protest and ushering in the fight to dismantle the status quo for the better.
