I thought I was going to like this book more than I did. The concept is thought provoking and challenging and the character flaws are realistic and meaningful. I think this book felt like an important discussion piece - I just felt a little stuck in the middle of the book. It dragged some for me.

Lord of the flies meets handmaid’s tale meets hunger games.

Twisty - the first book in a long while I’ve wanted to go back and reread to see if I missed clues. And I actually felt satisfied with the ending, which I feel never happens for me.
