Wow, I´m really positively suprised by this book! I went into it with some high expectations because of the praise on booktok but I try to give every book the same chance so I lowered these as I started reading. This book is as dystopian as it can get. A dark atmopshere, a destroyed world and depressed people. It gives the reader a first introduction in the world, how it functions and introduces the characters. This book is obviously a setup, it isn´t supposed to have a big climax or something. I think the author did a good job at setting everything up while still giving us moments to giggle, make us excited and scared.
Should you pick this up? For a dystopian read, yes! For romance only, no. 
The story is definitely filled with some clichees and the MC was a bit overdramatic at some point but I´m kinda invested so I´ll give the second book a try.
