Yeah! That's it. Thanks.
The book takes place in a sci-fi-ish dystopia where half the planet is controlled by dinosaurs (or dinosaur-like creatures).
The protagonist is a young person (I think they were a girl, late teenage years) who lives in a poor place where a deadly disease is spreading.
They join a competition with some vaguely 'hunger games'-like elements to go on an expedition to the place where the dinosaurs are in control. This competition involves both diving and climbing a cliff.
They end up succeeding and end up being challenged to collect something (dinosaur eggs?) on this expedition, and end up meeting someone from a previous expedition.
I remember something ending up being a trick in the ending? There was some big plot twist? It might have been the first of a series?
I read this book in around 2018-2019 and it was from the school library. I remember the cover of the book looking slightly odd somehow?
