3.5 
 There were cute and funny moments in the book. Also, the flow wasn't bad and I think it ended nicely (not really anything cliffhanger-like). But the things that irritated me from the beginning didn't get any better throughout the book, and the relationships between characters were too flat for my taste. I did think it was very interesting how dystopian-y the Compound felt and thought that aspect of the story would take precedence and shoot off into a "bigger picture" type thing (it didn't really). 
 Maybe I'll elaborate on this later?
