Reread 2022: I still love this so much even after all these years. I have loved Maxon from the start and how sweet and thoughtful he is. Is it true that Maxon and America don’t communicate the best? Yes. Do I care? Absolutely not!
I loved it! Really really loved it. I didn't really expect to, but I couldn't put it down! This is one of few YA books that I feel actually captures what it's like to be in love. There were a few things that bothered me, such as rushing the ending and just kind of throwing a bunch of hugely important details in and not explaining them. I truly feel like this book could have been much longer so it could explain the rebels more and what happens with the castes. Then I would have more answers!!
Oh, and I was getting annoyed with the horrible way these people handled conflict. Can no one in this series finish a conversation when they are angry? I can't count the amount of times that happened...but then I remember that America is only 17 and it makes sense...but I was still annoyed by it haha
