TW: I would definitely review the content warnings for this book before reading.

If you like dystopian books, this is a great one. Very fast read and character development is great. There were some holes in the plot/ending that needed a bit of a resolution, but loved the book overall.

This was a good read - the characters are hard to follow throughout the book for me, and the ending seemed to not have much of a resolve, would still recommend for a easy read!
