WHAT THE FUCK is what I've been thinking the entire time I was reading this book. This world is extremely bizarre and weird. I would even consider it body horror. Even though the book is not very graphic about it, just the thought of what's happening is making me incredibly uncomfortable.

It was a very captivating read, but also a very uncomfortable one. 

One of my issues with the setting is that I find it really hard to believe that parents would willingly have their teenage kids sent off to be harvested. But then again, in such an overpopulated world, I guess people are more inclined to do such horrible things.
