Did I enjoy this book? I really did. I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but I really, really did. It kept me entertained, and it was one that I read every free chance I had.
The Society was believable. It didn’t seem too far-fetched. It was kind of scary, though, to think that a government could control so much and that the people just go along with it. Believable, but scary.

The first 120 pages or so I was not really into it, to be honest. It didn't have that compulsively readable quality that a lot of other books in this genre possess. Once I sat down with it for a good chunk of time at once, though, I enjoyed it more.

The main character is kind of bland but her love interest is better developed and likeable.
