Random sections of music kinda ruined it for me

I found the random sections with music in the background super distracting and completely irrelevant to the story line. other that is was ok.

Good Book

At frist it was hard to get into but once you get to know the characters and love them the way that the writer wants you to love them its like you can't put it down. Absolutely enjoyed this book.

A dystopian love story

A bit slow at first but bare with it. It's an interesting love affair where a young girl tries to find her self in a dictatorship society.

Gentle and Poetic

I loved the story, the characters and the pace and I don't really understand how other readers/ listeners would find it boring. This is not a thriller and it's not fast paced. But the story is captivating and relevant. How much do you agree with society telling you what's best for you?
At first I thought the narrators voice would be unsuitable and annoying, but it turned out to be pleasantly gentle and matched the characters nicely. This is allegedly 'Teenage Fiction' but I rather enjoyed it, in my forties. Looking forward to the following book.

Amazing!

This is one of my favourite books but this is my first time listening on audio. The narrator really does it justice and I was hooked even though I already know the story.

The story is so emotional and involving, and the characters are so believable. I love it.
