This book was so well written, but was at times difficult to read because the dystopia felt too plausible. It's also a very quiet dystopia -- this isn't the Hunger Games or Handmaid's Tale, this is just heightened reality. 

I know this is so nit picky, but the Gwyneth Paltrow mentions totally took me out of the book
