I loved the style of writing, it was easy to relate to and connect with. It easily connected with the pop culture references in the plot itself, while also pushing the narrative further when needed. However, my issues with the book began around 40% in. I found myself struggling to pick the book up once I put it down. The introduction and intriguing story it brings in the beginning pulled me in and extended that interest until the 40% mark. But once the action began, I found myself wondering what the characters were fighting for. I understood logically what they were fighting for, but I didn't feel it. The concept, and the plot line itself was very intriguing, but the writing itself made it that much harder to continue reading it.
However, the book did grapple ideas that are needed in today's YA genre. It also opened up the question of how all of our actions impact not just ourselves, but the lives around us, and the lives we may touch without knowing.
