This book was so close to 5 stars..... It was like, THIS CLOSE. But something stopped me. 
 I love the whole setting. The whole idea of the Republic and the Colonies was awesome. 
 I liked all of the characters! Thomas made me really mad, because he was such a Son of a Beach Ball, and then he expected June to LIKE it... But I liked June, and I *ahem* LIKED Day. 
 I thought the plot was good. I am definitely waiting for them to grow a set of balls and do something (I mean, SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING), but for now, it's all good. 
 I'm really curious about a lot of stuff! There was a lot of stuff that the characters never found out, and so, I never found out.... *wilts* 
 The one thing that could have really improved was Day's and June's relationship, I think. (view spoiler)[It was like, one kiss out of impulse, yes, I can understand that. Then she breaks him out of jail. Yes, I can understand that too, because he did not deserve to die. And then, all of a sudden, it's a free for all! And I was like, okay, June, stop sticking your tongue down his throat and ask him about his childhood! What is his deepest darkest secret? What does he like to eat on a sandwich? Boxers or briefs? FOR GOD'S SAKE, WOMAN!!! (Okay, I was maybe just a little jealous. But seriously, what if it turned out he was a cat person? She would need to know...) (hide spoiler)] 
 Anyways.... I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who cares to ask! It's a great read!
