I really love the tv show but I think I should have read these sooner. The writing feels very outdated and is often boring.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE

It is literary fiction that has a vague romance subplot if you can even call it that. Stop referring to this as a romance when it is very clearly not. 

All of that aside, I did not really like any of the characters. I admire Eva trying to be a good mom but her daughter was annoying as hell and she and Shane need to learn to communicate like the grown adults that they are.

Silvera did it again.

The only thing that I would have wanted was the big secret about how Death-Cast works because I'm just curious about it

I thought this was going to be a 3 star read but the ending got me. It ends exactly how  you expect it to but the way it's told is very moving.

I was actually enjoying the beginning of this book but the random "joke" about the fmc being "sold into white slavery" turned me off

Love Eva and Luke's story. Love seeing a glimpse of Kyle and Ben too

While I understand the reactions
I really hated the way that everyone around Eva responded to her choice. And while I'm glad she ultimately changed her mind it was really frustrating that everyone reacted so selfishly
