Suddenly, so much is clear and motivations are revealed. A little late in the story for my taste.

I am now very glad that I stuck it out. There is an actual plot with real stuff happening now.

Sweet! This is the kind of action, drama, and other good stuff I have been waiting for. Too bad the whole book is coming to an end. I wish there had been less insta-love and gushing teen crush...and more of THIS.

Awesome! Here I am nearing the end...and the actual conflict...the plot I though was totally missing...finally shows up.

And the elusive villains have finally returned from their nearly 100 page hiatus.

Listen here you heathens! No divorce! If you break the vows...genital mutilation for you!

I seriously wish the plot didn't decay into over-done romance cliché. I would love to get more of the future politics, technology, characters. I think this author has some crazy good stories to tell.

Just when I thought the story was turning to a "real" conflict and more sci-fi...jealous girls and romantic troubles emerge.

So, instead of an actual sci-fi dystopian adventure/romance we have an alternate timeline Mean Girls in a concentration camp school of the future???
