Review
If there's a YA Dystopian out there, this book blogger wants to read it! And when I heard about this particular book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Now that I've read it and had time to process my thoughts, looks like I've got another favorite to add to my list. This book will definitely keep you reading. Call it a page turner if you must.. but there's definitely more to it than that! First off this review would not be complete without a spotlight on the overall look of the book. The title fonts and gold colored lettering was enough to make this book admirer *squee* with excitement! *looks at book admiringly* So pretty!!! Next up you've got the dual point of views. (Another thing I really loved) Being able to look at the story from both sides definitely added to it's intensity. Throw in one very thrilling altogether unforgettable story... I think we've got a winner here! lol! :)
This is one book that I'm sure you'll find on bloggers top tens for sure. I know for a fact it's got a place on mine!!
Great book! 5 stars from me!
I got this one for Christmas and I'm so so so excited to read it!!!! I cannot wait for another good dystopian!!! Great review :)
