adam >>> and kenji is the loml he's so funny fr. the character development is SO GOOD i was expecting it to be confusing w the whole stricken out text thing but it's surprisingly easy to follow. i lowkey dislike warner and i'm deffo team adam rn but the characterisation of warner is rlly good!! whenever warner calls juliette "love" omg... but the plot twists are so good like i was so certain smth was gonna happen BUT NO SMTH ELSE HAPPENS and then warner just exists and u cant even hate him bc he's kind of pretty. it's a really fast read tbh, i finished it in 2 days but it's a long series so i'll deffo j be continuously reading the series bc this book was SO GOOD and has me so intrigued. booktwt definitely didn't disappoint w hyping it up, it's really well written and the characters are my favs i adore all of them, especially kenji and adam. could have probs picked a better name than juliette for the main character let's b real but anyway we won't hold a grudge against that. but yeah it's a really good book and i'd recommend it<3 (also bonus points for the cover, it's ABSOLUTELY stunning)

i wouldn't recommend reading the book on public transport, that's all imma say. especially if the scene is adam/juliette focused.

I loved this, i’m definitely going to continue to read the series. I couldn’t put this down and literally read it in 2 days. I love Juliette and Adam and also love Warner despite him being an ass.

christygsp's review against another edition

3.0

I kept going back and forth on liking, hating, and tolerating this book. 

The writing, I found to be sometimes nice, and other times more like drivel (eg talking about dying 5 times in one second… ugh). Often, it across as a  too flowery, but I did enjoy The cross out of a “real” or raw thought followed by the one that the character thinks should be. 

The story was very slow to start, and I wished it would have jumped in a few chapters earlier. Then, the story took a very different “beauty and the beast” vibe, before finally doing a sharp turn to superheroes. It was disorienting to say the least. 

I know some spoilers and just CANNOT understand how we get from this book, to the final one….. I almost don’t want to know, and I’m hoping if I read any more, it won’t be a toxic relationship that we are supposed to somehow root for. I never do.
