My friend won this book from a goodreads giveaway and she let me read it first! This book was so different from any other dystopian novel I've ever read... And I've read a bunch. I loved the premise of a nuclear apocalypse that results in a mutation where everyone is born in a set of twins, one prefect and the other flawed. The first quarter of the book went by a little slower than the rest, just because Cass was locked up for literally years. Once she escapes though, the book picked up some. It took me longer to read than I expected, but it had an okay rhythm to it. The big twist near the end was lightly hinted at in certain points throughout the book, but I figured it out about 10 chapters before it was revealed. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel!
