 I'm surprised I didn't read this earlier or I was not required to in school. I absolutely loved this read, I haven't read Lois Lowry since middle school, but now I think I'd like to return to her books. Her world building and descriptions are perfect for a dystopian story. This was an easy read while still being meaningful and thought provoking.

The audiobook on Libby was only 5 hours, so this was a great weekend/day ready. Highly recommend to everyone.
