Trigger warnings: Death of a teenager
6/10, well where do I even begin with this? The entire book was just one slow moving train wreck and I did not enjoy any aspect of this novel. The main character, Max was one of those morally grey protagonists but I still did not like reading about him in this book because he really wasn't that fleshed out and he used a slur once and did some perverted thing I don't remember. The dystopian world building wasn't well thought out either because I don't know how the dystopia came into being but I do remember it was due to climate change or overpopulation or something like that and why develop a vaccine to turn every student into essentially an obedient robot but I think that's the entire point of the story however it wasn't really that intriguing. The side characters were mildly interesting but they didn't help the story like Dallas who was just Max's friend and Ally who just took care of animals and was a loudmouth. The ending was by far the worst part of the book because escaping the dystopian town called New Middletown was so easy since he just went with his parents and sister all the way to Canada and that's it, it fizzles out. It's such a shame that the book ended like this and I would have liked it more if it ended on a high note but it didn't. If you like dystopian novels try 1984 by George Orwell instead of this book.… (mere)
