This book turned out to be so much more than I expected. I really enjoyed reading it and the honesty between America and Maxon for the majority of the book was so refreshing. I loved reading about them and respected both of them a lot, knowing that if I met either one of them in real life I would desperately want to be friends with them because they were so inherently good and open minded. Was the love triangle a little forced? Yes, but was it more bearable than books like The Hunger Games and Delirium? Also, yes. I loved America's perspective on pretty much everything (view spoiler)[ except the whole kissing Aspen part at the end, but the fact that she broke it off shows that she has really good intentions (hide spoiler)] and I am really excited to read the rest of this trilogy!
