Wow.. First book of the year is a DNF at 44%.

But I give up. Honestly, I don't know how or why the author didn't get called out for completely ripping off the storyline. The plot was obviously taken from a bunch of popular YA novels. Yes, he changed a few things and added elements to make it seem a bit different, but it wasn't original in the slightest. Unfortunately, the plot wasn't the only problem. The characters had no personality, the writing was bland, and the dialogue seemed very forced and unnatural.

I didn't even finish the book, and I'm pretty sure I know how it's going to end. The romance barely started developing and it felt superficial and unnecessary. All of the characters, every single one, were so one-dimensional and stereotypical. The main character (I forget her name already) was the most stupidest and oblivious protagonist I've ever come across in fiction.

I feel a little bad for trashing this book. But I don't have anything positive to say about it. I think I might have been able to push myself to finish it if it wasn't so blatantly similar to previous young adult dystopians I read. I'm not going to rate this because it wouldn't be fair, but if I could, it would be half a star maybe.

Avoid this like the plague. Don't waste your time.
