Oh my GOD i have missed dystopian novels!! Where has this been for the last ten years, I ask you! I need this genre to come back with a vengeance, and it all starts right here, right now, with this story. This totally reminded me of Deliirum, Uglies, and Gone with the vibes and the facilities and living in a secluded structure and not being able to love freely. But the best thing about this is the throwback to the girls with POWER. We have seen some strong women in YA over the years, but I truly feel that nothing beats a good old fashioned revolutionary. Eleanor reminded me a lot of Tris, actually, and watching her struggle with who she is told to be with who she wants to be was so freaking relatable my heart hurt. My heart also hurt for her and Rose's story, and really, they deserved so much better. Eerily parallel to the state of our current politics, this is haunting, wonderful, brilliant, and a much needed addition to any dystopian fan's shelf. Don't miss this.

I adored the story, the world building was amazing. I love meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it. The writing was also really nice. I couldn't put the book down and I can't wait for others to read and enjoy this story as well.
