was interesting to hear from adam’s perspective, especially his observations of juliette, rather than just hearing what’s going on inside her mind. i adore adam’s love for james (and i adore james). i feel for his conflict but i’ve kind of turned on adam now, kenji however i love sm and hope the next novella is from his perspective!

Would describe this novella as fine. Didn’t really give me a great deal. The first half especially felt like a waste of time because it was a bunch of dialogue we’d already read word for word in Unravel Me, just this time with a couple of internal thoughts from Adam’s POV.
I did really like understanding a bit more about Adam and James’s brotherly relationship though and how James is Adam’s priority, and so he should be.
I guess this novella just provides the perspective of the other remaining Omega Point characters who managed to survive and describes how they all end the book thinking Juliette is dead. But besides that this feels kinda futile.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.

My respect for Adam is out the window. The day before he would have put his life on the line for Juliette and now he’s questioning if she’s worth dying for smh 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not that the book is bad I just dislike Adam
