 The hype around this book was huge. Everybody seemed to love it . I, however, thought differently. 
 Compared to some other dystopian books, this one is mediocre. 
 The main character is weak. All Ruby does is whine about her powers and how she is a monster. She was so boring to read about in the beginning. Throughout the book, she does have some character development. I couldn't connect to any of the other characters, though. They could all die and I would have yawned. 
 I didn't like the romance. Liam was a sweet guy and all, but I felt as if there was no chemistry between him and Ruby. They met each other on the "car trip" and all of a sudden they like each other. I never swooned once. 
 There is no plot This is my main concern about this book. As many reviewers have put it, it was just an "extended car ride". I have to agree with that. While there are some action scenes, it seems sprinkled in just to make the book more interesting. They had no purpose. Characters get in car, someone attacks then, some get captured, they are rescued, repeat. I could be wrong about this, but did they have an end destination? Where were they headed? I think I skimmed that part. 
 What really got me was that this book could have been great, the idea of children with super powers is really interesting and could have made for some great action scenes. Sadly, this was not the case.
