There were good themes here of independence and female strength, but ultimately I found the climax to be really disappointing. I would probably have liked this book more if I was in middle school, but also I don't know how appropriate the book would be for the average middle schooler.
Read in middle school and loved it as a middle schooler but wouldn’t like it now. Love a good love triangle
First things first, I don't like love triangles. One of two things happen. One of the three in the triangle is a douche and you wonder why anyone finds them attractive. The other scenario ends with you feeling bad for someone. This book ended and I felt bad for someone. I liked both of the guys, in fact they were the best part.
The society was very well organized and very clean. There was no real reason given for why it had started breaking down, if it had happened before and what they were going to do about it. I guess that will be information covered in the next two books. It just left me with a feeling of dissatisfaction.
Due to the flow and the fact that I did like two of the characters I bumped the rating from 2.5 up to 3.

I have always wanted to read this as a teenager. I liked the book it has a very interesting story. It wasn't overly amazing but also wasn't overly terrible, but it was a good enough book! I can't wait to read the other 2 books!
