I read this book in 5 1/2 hours, and I physically couldn't put it down. From start to finish, it was addicting. It has everything my soul has been wanting for the past 2 months. I haven't wanted to binge read a book like this since I was a child.
It has everything I ever wanted from a book; superpowers, dystopian world, realistic romance, and she doesn't immediately fall for the guy who forces her to almost kill someone, several times, including a baby. And is unhealthily obsessed with her.
I obviously can't wait to find out why people are so in love with a particular character. But oh my god, it's such a breath of fresh air. I'm also so glad to see that not even characters I hate make me hate the book. Actually, those characters make the book even more fun to read because of how well written they are.
