This review is based on an ARC given to me for free by the publisher, Crown Publishing, via Netgalley. This does not in any way affect my review.

... Throughout the novel the characters come face-to-face with all the ways their world is wrong, how it is just broken, until one particular moment when one of the characters declares that the only proper reaction to a broken world is not to roll over and give up, but to fight back. It is this idea ??? resistance instead of acceptance, revolution instead of complacency ??? that forms the novel???s thematic backbone, that gives it its power and impact. And it is something that we, as readers, need to think about, something we need to remember when we are confronted by the seemingly endless ways that the world can and has done us and those we love wrong. This book tells us that the time for complacency is over. It is time to fight back.
