Great review, Cia. I have this one sitting on my shelf and I am looking forward to reading it, but I trust you when you say you didn’t feel the chemistry between the characters. I’ll have to watch out for that when I pick it up.

LOL reading for romance is not shameful at all… But if that’s what you’re looking for, I don’t think this one will wow you.

I keep reading mixed reviews, but definitely haven’t seen anything higher than 3 stars for this book. I may read it for the DAC. I do read for romance *hangs head in shame* or at least I do consider it a perk so I’m worried by this lack of chemistry you mention.

I agree with your assessment, there's a certain feeling of disconnect with the characters, and the ending did fall kind of flat. The book did have such an intriguing premise though! Sniffly Kitty Sniffly Kitty's Mostly Books

Likewise, this has been one to sit on my TBR list. But since I’m not such a fan of dystopian novels, that’s been my main reason for putting it off. And going by your review, I’ll keep putting it off for a little while longer.

Thanks!
