I was convinced HappyHead was gonna be some messed up conversion camp but it ended up being messed up in a completely different way that I wasn't expecting. I can see the Hunger Games vibes but it also had a Handmaid's Tale/Squid Games feel to it too. I love Seb and Finn and loved Seb's names for all the 'councillors'. Can't wait to read book 2. The question is, do I wait til August when I can get it from my library or am I buying a new book?
