this is the first book i’ve read on my own outside of school in a very long time. i wasn’t a fan of 1984 but i was still looking for a good dystopian novel, so i tried this one. i really enjoy the author’s writing style, it makes the characters feel so full and alive. i think there’s a lot to think about with this book, and it leaves you questioning things. i do think the ending was a bit quick, but i’m sure it was intentional. i recommend this book if you’re looking for a good dystopian.
