*3 stars total 
 I really wanted to like this book, but something about it felt like it was missing. I'm pretty sure it was something about the writing style that just didn't totally agree with me, but I really did give it a shot. This is considered upper grade, but to me it read like a middle grade book. I liked the futuristic ideas behind it and found some parts about it pretty interesting, but overall, I didn't feel all that invested in the characters (personality wise or plot) or much about the plot in general. I rarely ever dnf a book, but I randomly considered it about halfway through. I'm trying to decide if I should try the second book, or if it just isn't worth my time. If anyone has read the second one, let me know your thoughts!
