i won't give much details bec i feel like i'd be spoiling a lot 😆 but i have just a few things to say:
this book has spoken volume on many things which you should look out for when you read this. i liked beth revis' writing. the way it pulls the reader into and float in its deepness -- ironically, like the universe. definitely one of the books that leaves you thinking, not just about the book's direction but also about the question it's asking. (hmm) i was fascinated by the conflicts and the way it invites the reader to investigate, and think about their own stand. for others, the plot might be considered predictable, but for me, i was just really enjoying every part -- the confusion and the thrill of it all. i also find it unique how the diversity of the characters were intended. it showed how complex it is to be human regardless of origin.
for reference:
if you liked Passengers, Never Let Me Go, or even playing Among Us (lol) you might enjoy this.
but then, i believe this can be an important book that everyone might want to give this a try :-)
