A world where self-expression is illegal. A world where survival is everything. A girl who will be heard. The story begins. Seventeen-year-old Teddy lives in the walled-in city Metropolis. Radical laws condemn all forms of self-expression and creativity, and the lives of the people are carefully constructed and controlled by the City Council. When Teddy finds out the truth behind one of the City's biggest lies, she slips out into the darkness after curfew. She is captured and held prisoner in an old bomb shelter that lies beneath the City. Here, Teddy discovers that there is a world beneath the Metropolis, a world where a growing web of clans are fighting to keep their humanity alive, and waiting for someone to lead them back up into the light.

I think my main issue with the book was that I had such high expectations, I was interested to see a book written by a singer, I think I expected some lyrical wording. All we got was naive characters and not enough worldbuilding.
self/less is a debut novel by Australian songwriter Aviva, it is a dystopian set in Metropolis, a place where drawing and self-expression are banned. Those who self express are "sanitised" whatever that means and are never seen again.
The writing was pretty basic and simple, descriptions were not elaborate whatsoever.
This also contributed to the lack of world-building, I want to know how this happened, their justification, what everything looks like. I want to know what sanitisation is.
We don't get enough from the writing, so the world is not developed enough.
The characters were pretty mediocre, Teddy was tolerable, she didn't have much to her personality.
Kit was confusing, one page she was tough, next page, vulnerable. One moment, distrusting, then naive. She was incredibly naive. The characters didn't feel real or developed enough for me.
Overall, I found myself disappointed by the lack of well everything.
Nothing stood out for me.
