In-depth review: http://amandathebookbabe.blogspot.com... 
 At first I thought this book would definitely be getting four stars out of five. However, toward the end of the book, mainly part three, I just felt like the whole book fell flat. I felt like it was leading up to something exciting, some big unravel to the minor mystery that propels the book. Alas, nothing. Dullness. I understand the whole dystopian-esque nature of this book is dealt with in a very blase manner by the characters to show that the characters are pretty acquiescent about the whole thing. But, it would have been better if there had been some sort of distress on the characters part. Another aspect of the book that was a bit annoying was how it was kind of repetitive. I kept thinking I must have lost my place because I'd already read certain parts, but it would turn out the author was repeating scenes and scenarios. 
 I was astounded that a male author was able to portray the intricacies of female friendships so well though. He did a great job. The book was good and I did enjoy it, I guess with all the hype surrounding this one and it basically being a modern classic I expected so much more. I think I would like to read more of his books.
