I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure when I first began it, but it's one of those guilty pleasures now! YA romance in a palace - yes please! I like America as an FMC - she's relatable in the fact that she doesn't let her past define who she is. I will say that I'm not a fan of the love triangle right now - I'm so on Prince Maxon's side to win her over! The setting of Ilia is odd in the fact that it's basicall  the US after a war with China - so some sorta post war vibes, but nothing too crazy. I also like the reality show vibe that it has going on - cameras documenting everything the girls do and broadcasting to the whole country. Its an interesting take for sure. It's a good read for some teen drama with a twist!
