Damn, this book was good. The first 100 pages and the premise are deception - it's very much a story about living under fascism and then learning about how you've been wrong. Since I'm now in my 30s, I can't really talk much about if I think the teen characters feel like teen, but it feels like there's a great arc around realizing that the thing you want is actively harmful to the world.
