• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

This is prime post-hunger games dystopian YA but... It's kind of amazing! It definitely is a product of it's time, and Tumblr, but that was when I was discovering my love for reading so... It is nostalgic and lovely to me.

It's super fast paced, with some distinct body horror themes & unwilling medical exams/tests - if any of that is triggering, definitely move along.
