Dystopian/post apocalyptic novels published from like 2016 onward are difficult for me to internalize and evaluate. They always feel too on the nose and borderline schlocky/preachy to me almost regardless of the author’s skill and execution. 

This one is pretty well written, with a fantastic main character, but still veers into This Is A Lesson a few too many times for my tastes. I still recommend it though as a short read/thought exercise - you might be less resistant to the concept and get more from it than I did.
