I liked the premise of the book and the beginning. It is a Dystopian world ravaged by a virus. Now there is city where people live predictable lives and there are soldiers who have been brainwashed. As the soldiers find resistance or people outside the city they give them a choice - live in the city or die. The book begins with Ember giving that choice to someone she knew from her old life and who is her sister's fiancee (Quill) - but she doesn't remember any of that and she kills him. She is "rescued" soonafter and her memories are restored but now she has to live with what she has done - not only to Quill but to many others. Then there is Solanine - she wants her sister back but the damage is extensive.
I liked the fist half of the book but then things started going back and forth - captured, escape, under mind control, not under mind control and there were so many issues - cutting, suicide, death, regret. It was pretty heavy. In addition, the pov changed from 1st to 3rd depending on whether it was Emmy or Solanine and it was jarring.
