My thoughts for this novel are basically all over the place. I originally tried to read it back when only ARCs were out, but the first few chapters did not interest me at all. Thus, I pushed it to the side for another time.
Well, the time came, and I finished it at the start of Spring Break.
For starters, once I hit about 50-60 pages in, the book became interesting and engrossing to me. It was everything I loved about Jay Kristoff but with futuristic dystopia and Anastasia vibes.
The characters were all incredibly unique, and I will forever have a special spot for Lemon Fresh. Not only is she the funniest character, but her growth and friendship to Eve really struck a chord within me. She doesn't let anyone hurt her or her friends, and she works hard to help in anyway she can. plus, her backstory just makes my heart ache.
Now the main character, Eve.. She went back and forth on my like and "eh" meter when it comes to enjoying a character. She's going through a lot (everyone basically trying to kidnap or kill her), so I understand her trust issues and confusion. The thing is she acts so childishly at times, and even though it isn't completely unwarranted, I want to scream at her like there is no tomorrow. She constantly declares she is independent and an adult, but in some of her actions you could say she doesn't emulate what she says.
Anyway, the novel really moved further and further up on my like scale until it surpassed a four star rating. I was becoming super pumped for the final pages, and then the last POV hit me.
Here's where I get into major spoilers.
WHY
ON
EARTH
DOES
SHE
DECIDE
TO
SIDE
WITH
GABRIEL?!
I just- yes, you're a lifelike. I understand he is the only one who has not lied to you, but WHAT IN THE WORLD SWEETIE?! 
WHY. WHY. WHY. WHY.
I was fuming like there was no tomorrow on the airplane, and I couldn't wrap my head around this revelation. She is Ana in certain (weird) ways because #1 she has her memories, #2 was the one dealt the gunshot to the head, and #3 has to deal with Ana's history. Her reasoning felt like the crummiest I've ever seen, and I cannot get behind this change of action unless she is secretly plotting to destroy Gabe.
UGHHHHHHH.
The last chapter really knocked my review down. I give it props for a sucker punch plot twist, but it didn't feel like a genuine plot twist. Yes, your life has been a lie the entire time, but that doesn't take away your experiences as Eve or even after realizing you were (but not really) Ana. Those lies do not take away from the life you have lived or the values.
Her 180 is getting to me.
I will definitely be reading the sequel because I am truly intrigued to see where Jay takes the story next. Will Eve turn against her friends just because they didn't speak the truth? Does their loyalty get negated because of one mistake? What is the crews response to Eve’s new posse?
Deviant will tell us.
P.S. This review is one of the most emotional I have ever written, so I apologize for any grammar mistakes. I just couldn't help but pound the keyboard into the oblivion.
