This book goes some dark places very quickly and doesn’t let up—a total page turner that introduces a new city where people can control their emotions by poking emojis tattooed on their arms. It sounds really dystopian, but ... maybe it’s not? And then it becomes clear that that’s not the worst of our protagonists problems. As the post-Uglies world is opened up and explored more, lots of interesting questions are raised with messy, ambiguous answers. It’s been less than a day since this book was released but I’m anxiously awaiting the next one!
