somehow my original review of this from 2013 was erased, but I love it just as much now, as expected. Definitely caught a few things I didn't the first time. Plus, it helped separate some scenes from book to movie.

I try to think before giving a book a review, but this was an automatic 5 stars. I COULD NOT put this book down! I like how Stephanie Meyer describes this book as sci-fi for people who don't like sci-fi. Unlike Twilight, it doesn't revolve around a love triangle. Obviously it revolves around love... that's what drives the whole story - but this book is so much more!
I'd recommend this to anyone who didn't (or did) like Twilight and are willing to give Stephanie Meyer another chance.
It's never a dull moment and each chapter greatly contributes to the story.

If you haven't read this book/series yet, you're seriously missing out! Lauren Oliver is such a brilliant writer!
I picked up this book after reading before I fall and just wanted to read another book by her.
A Utopia world, and a forbidden love story are definitely my cup of tea!

Hi my name is Emily, I'm 22 year-olds and I was spooked by a middle grade novel.
