Captivating but I had a few major complaints.
- The audiobook narrator made Billy sound like a child
- Jet and her peers all seemed extremely young. (Catty, petty, vindictive). It was a weird blend of YA and fiction
- There is no way Jet could be up, moving around, totally normal after brain surgery like that.
This book should be in my wheelhouse. I love romance, dystopian, and thriller books. But they do not typically intersect. For some reason though, I didn't love this one.
I wanted more but also less? I think we needed a perspective or insight into the real world beyond “war”. I also think the rule in the house preventing conversation about their real lives hindered the story development. I wasn't really attached to anyone because I didn't know anything about the main character. Or was that the point?
I like recurring character Sarah Keller and her husband is literally the best. But beyond that, hmph. A lot of leads that don't pan out, which I'm sure is closer to police with than most books but created a book about stuff that didn't really tie into the plot. I think there were too many characters (5 kids, parents, fbi agent and family, other police agents).
