This was SO good! Think Star Wars but make it Bonnie & Clyde. And those twists at the end! I loved every second of this high-octane chase. And seeing it from two sides made it even more compelling.
The characters and their growth over the book were fabulous. I loved seeing the transformation of Ava and Shane in public perception from kids trying to save their families to murderers and criminals, and seeing that transformation play out on their bodies as they grew leaner and harder as the book went on. Cyrus's slow change of heart and realization about his future in the army was heartbreaking, as was his slow-simmering attraction to Lark.
The ending definitely left me wanting more, and I'm crossing my fingers for a follow-up because SURELY the author isn't going to just leave us hanging like that!
