This is by far one of my favorite books of the year. I felt the whole realm of emotion while reading this book. 

I think that the main character in this book was so well crafted. I don't agree with what she did at the beginning of the book but as a mom of three small children, the stress that she was under was so relatable. 
Chan did an amazing job of making this book really speak to the true nature of a mother and the struggles that we all have and I think that is why I connected to this book so much. Not to mention the representation of different kinds of mothers was so well done. 
I think that the school itself was such an eerie setting and it felt like something that could really happen in the future. 
If you are looking for a dystopian future book this is one I would highly recommend.

The premise of this story was one that I was very interested in and because I loved the Divergent series by this author I was really excited to pick up another of their works. 
Unfortunately, this one didn't really live up to my expectation in the execution of the premise. I thought that the main characters were interesting but they didn't make me feel for them the same way some of Roth's other characters have. I thought that the writing was still great writing I love Roth's writing style and I do see myself picking up more works by them. 
I think that this is just one that the execution of the story just didn't work for me and that really hindered my enjoyment.
