Since I am always looking for new books to read and trying out genres that I don't venture into that often, I decided to give this book a try. Though when I think of dystopian novels, my first thought is The Hunger Games or Divergent. Despite jumping between two different years, although one of them was written as letters, the story fell a bit flat for me as far as talking about wanting to change the climate to try and reverse/stop what is happening. It felt like the characters were trying to escape their surroundings and find freedom in something else and not really getting there. That was the impression that I was getting while reading. Overall it was an interesting book and probably not something that I will read again.
