I had HUGE expectations for this book, mostly because I was so moved by Before I Fall (to the point I practically shoved the book down my younger sister's throat and told her she HAD to read it).I really enjoyed this book. It made me remember what it felt like to first fall in love. From the first night Alex and Lena spent in the woods, I wanted them to escape together. And even though this book was part-dystopian, I never really felt that. The government was super controlling and there were a ton of restrictions, but I don't think that the plot was too focused around it. It played an incredibly crucial part in the story, but it wasn't the central idea. I think that is why I liked it so much. Lena never set out to go against the rules, but that's exactly what she ended up doing. That is what made her so likable.
I didn't realize that it was supposed to be part of a trilogy, so I was really upset with the ending at first. I was left feeling "That's it?!?". But now, I cannot wait until the second one comes out.
