Kweenie het plot interesseerde me eig niet echt. Edgy volwassenen zijn niet m’n ding en daar leek het om te gaan

The ending was beautiful and sad. It was obviously a good book. But I was not, am not, in the right state to truly appreciate this. Maybe I should not have finished a book I knew I could not enjoy right now- this book could have made me feel so much, I like to imagine, if I had not been completely unable to feel anything anyway right now. But maybe I’ll reread it someday!!

Good!! But towards the ending it got a little too messy Imo, and there were a few parts of the book that could have been looked at closer by editors. (Grammatical mistakes etc.) But I got it for free on kindle, so I’m pleasantly surprised! Also refreshing for a dystopian, lots of themes/ things I hadn’t seen before.

Still fire
slow-paced

Honestly this just confused me- but it was good!! Rooted for them the entire time

Mooi en indrukwekkend geschreven, maar het had weinig richting; geen echt plot, weinig houvast.

If you meet someone like her, run for your life.

No but seriously, I don’t see how she could so casually talk about all the shit she did, people she used and people she hurt. “I got a taxi to another city while I was drunk and broke and had to ask my friend to borrow me 300 pounds hahah how silly of me.”
