2.5/5 stars. 

This ended up not being for me after all. The blurb was intriguing to me but ended up having too many pop references, a lot of politics (I did appreciate the American president slander), and other media mentions that I didn’t relate much to. 

While I did value the political talks and the stance, I also wasn’t expecting such a political book. Nothing wrong with that if that’s what you’re looking for, but unfortunately with everything wrong going on in the world, I want to escape reality instead of reliving it while reading. I wish I had known this before reading because I probably would’ve chosen to skip this one just due to personal preference. 

The writing wasn’t too bad but some of the sentences and wording were very repetitive. A good example of what I mean is at the very start of the book with the word “body” being overly used: “Between the two is my body, lying prostrate on the floor. ​Next to me is a body. A man’s body. ​Elation is cocooning my body. A conviction shoots up through my body like electricity.”
