Our Missing Hearts

I expected character-driven literary fiction (like her other books), but instead got a run-of-the-mill YA dystopia with a bland society and plot. The first part, from the point of view of Bird, was at least somewhat interesting because there was a bit of mystery of what happened to his mother. Once we find out that actually nothing really exciting happened, and have to listen to her life story it somehow gets even worse. I don't see much reason to prefer this over any other YA dystopia novel. It makes me sad since I absolutely loved Little Fires Everywhere.
