Wow! It’s a fascinating concept about life and learning about how long you will live. I thought it was a great commentary on the world and how we’d handle it. I was blown away by the analysis of what rules would be made, who would win the presidency and how the world would continue. It’s a must read. I think anyone who even slightly enjoys dystopian worlds would love this book !!

The opportunity to create a new category of othering arrives overnight for anyone over the age of 22 and prejudices flow amidst the panic.

I wish that there was some closure on some of the (what I consider) plot holes, as well as a couple of characters we grew to know over the 15 years that pass in the book, though I was given enough to be satisfied.  It was a bit predictable and cliche, but I teared up a couple times and definitely cried at the end because thinking about life and death and found family gets me in the feels.
