Customer Reviews

Interesting...

I personally did not like this book... To me it felt like the author was trying really hard. if that makes sense. And she kept repeating things over and over (i.e so and so is my boyfriend (like 10 times)). At the end you could tell she was trying hard to make it into a big heroine series. It really felt like she was trying to be equivalent to the hunger games or divergent series.

I wasn't expecting this storyline

I was caught off guard when I started reading this book. I didn't expect for the storyline to be that good and interesting. I read this in one day and would definitely recommend.

10/10 Love the book

The book is so deep and thoughtful. You feel so connected to the characters. Definitely recommend!

A fun YA dystopian

This was an interesting premise and a entertaining beginning to a series. I will be continuing with the next one right away. The end I thought was maybe a little too easy, but the rest of it was fun.

The Program to help kids.

This is a hard read just because of the topic. I think its even harder if you have kids of your own.
