To start off, I bought this book in the wrong language. Honestly this annoyed me more than it should have but being the cheap bastard I am I decided to read it in the bought language anyway.
The Cover isn't anything too special, it's not bad but it didn't blow my mind. It was a bit the same as all those Divergent style stories. The whole Dystopian thing. They all seem to have the same covers, I don't know why but I don't think they're special.
I bought this book during some summer sale so the price was downgraded, leaving the book at around 8-ish.
It's more expensive than some of the other books/genres I read but it wasn't so expensive that it made me cringe.
While reading this book you keep getting swapped between reading the book as Day and reading the book as June. I thought this was really nice because I always like to know what's going on in BOTH the hero and heroines head. The only thing I have to remark to this was that their personalities weren't always split up enough. Meaning, if you start a chapter and you didn't read who it was about (yes, I often skip the title of a chapter) you could get a little bit confused as to who is talking.
That being said though, I felt really connected to both of them and I did see them as two different people. Mostly I would read 3 sentences in a chapter thinking Day is talking and be like 'this isn't right' or the other way around. I'm sure this confusion can be blamed to my lazy reading techniques.
If you liked Divergent and The Hunger Games, I'm pretty sure you'll like this book. I feel like I would recommend this book more to the younger teenagers though and not to young adults/ adults. This doesn't make it a bad book it just means it's directed at a different audience. Like my cousin of 14. He would love this book.
Overall I enjoyed this book, it was such an easy read. I think it took me about 2hrs to finish this book. I was really into it and it was just so smooth!
