The cover of this book loudly proclaims this book is "like Hunger Games, but better" which is just setting the story up to fail, especially as it is literally nothing like The Hunger Games. This is a UK set story of a gay teen who is sent to a facility with 99 other teens, and given weird tasks in a bid to somehow cure a mass epidemic of depression.

I don't think I could fully categorise this as a Dystopia. Nothing about this story could prevent it from being set in the present day and all the technology they use dates it to this decade too. Apart from this, the story has some mild similaries to The Maze Runner, which would have been better to compare it to.

This story did feel lacking in places for me. I liked the tasks but needed stronger, more interesting characters outside of Seb and Finn. Eleanor is a complex, interesting character but I can't really name the others. I am fully invested enough to buy the sequel though!
