I really liked the book. I actually checked it out after my husband made me watch the movie.
I like how it is placed in a dystopian society and the hopes and fears make sense for the characters.
I did get tired of how small and thin our heroine was because I hate when people continue to focus on small physical form as writers. Either it’s such a big thing the heroine overcame OR it’s some sort of big, huge thing they panic about.
Maybe mention it once (we can remember these things) and then we will be good the entire book.
Please and thank you from a historically short/small person.
