One of the things that caught my attention is that common things from the past like writing songs and listening to music are also prohibited, there is a lot of secrecy.

What surprised me was the Chit Chat system. I dislike that anyone knew what is your whereabouts, even the smallest things, it was uncovered.

I was surprised by Kim's distress at her preference between innies and outies. Despite the society comprising of all women, it still seems there are some distinguishing features between them, since she labels herself as a 'genderist'. It was extremely unexpected, but I feel like this could be something to explore as Kim battles her sexuality since in their society, it is frowned upon to show a preference between an innie and outie. Hopefully, this is touched on further throughout the rest of the series as I think it could be quite interesting and important in Kim's discovery of her true identity.
