4.5

wait because this was actually sooooo much better than i was expecting??????? i'm such a sucker for dystopian books and this did not disappoint!! and don't get me started on the ending....ik a lot of people get mad when books end like this one did, but the historical notes section had my jaw on the floor like OHHHHHHH and everything clicked into place

i think i'm going to watch the hulu series sometime this summer after i finished doctor who (unless one of you yells at me that it's bad or something)
