Rating 1 Star
Review - This was really bad. The writing was bad, character development was bad, the story line was bad. It was just horrendous all the way around.The MC was seriously unlikable and not even in a good way, I will not be continuing on with the series. I will give the author another chance with a different book that I have of his.
I'm so close to finishing this month's pick <3 I hope I get it done soon so I can give an update :)

Rating 4 Star
I really enjoyed it, even though I did not find the main character likeable. I did enjoy the social commentary a lot and this just hit me in the "i need some YA dystopia" mood so potentially my craving this type of book earned it an extra star. Stars in the end are very subjective and dependend on mood ...
Thank you for picking this for me. I wanted to get to this one in so long and am grateful to finally have picked it up.
I finished
on 10/31 and rated it 4 stars. I have had this book picked for me a couple times in the past and I'm so glad I finally got around to it. It was a super unique book for me and I loved it. My full review can be read here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...This book actually ended up being my 100th book of 2020 and I finished my reading goal for the year :)
