![]() ![]() No, what my main problem was with this book sticking its toe out of genre boundaries, is that it does it in the name of the most irritating love triangle. Bad boy with (probably) a heart of gold trope (We\’ll come to that LATER OH BOY). There\’s the childhood friend who is now a hottie trope. But the \’new elements\’ in this weren\’t exactly new. Buckle your seat belts, darlings, because this one is going to be gif-fed up! Firstly, I gotta ask – WHY? Why the focus on the romance in a dystopia? I am not one for sticking to genre conventions – heck, I love when books subvert them and introduce some new elements. ![]() Honestly, this book takes the love triangle to a cringe-worthy level, and WAIT I KNOW YOU MAY HAVE LOVED THIS BOOK BUT I GOTTA GET MY FEELINGS OUT IN A RANT before I can even continue with what I actually liked. ![]() Maybe it was the time in which it released – the era of dystopias, but this is more like a romance set in a dystopic world than a true dystopia. This book made me question a lot of things – firstly, about why it is so hyped, and secondly, what are others seeing that I am missing out? I genuinely had to ask some of my friends what they thought of the book, because I saw so many high-rated reviews for it (not from my friends but others I follow on GR) and I mostly got \’eh I didn\’t like it much either\’ kind of answers. ![]()
