Fuck Adam like fr. "She needs me" Fuck off and die. Lord I can't fathom why Juliette even acknowledges his presence.

why is there no content warning for adam?
this book made me so angry. i hate adam. I HATE ADAM. 

“she’s not strong enough to be on the battlefield.” SORRY WHAT. she literally shatters the earth when she touches the ground and kills people when she touches them. what right does adam think he have to protect her like she’s some kind of fragile animal. and also?
“I love Juliette. I really do. I want to help her and support her and be there for her. I want us to have a future together. But sometimes I wonder if it's ever going to happen. This isn't easy to admit, but part of me doesn't want to put James at risk again-on the run again--for a girl who broke up with me. A girl who walked away from us.”
HE DOESNT WANT TO SAVE HER BECAUSE SHE BROKE UP WITH HIM? WHO DOES THAT?

anyway i could keep ranting but you can just read this book and find out for yourself for the low low price of 1 hour of your life.

adam’s kinda overhated imo

i love his love for james, sibling love is so important to me and even though i think he *is* awfully clingy to juliette, i can’t blame him.

as usual, i devoured this and i need to buy ignite me really soon.

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

The  first 3/4 of this book was so boring to me since so much of it is scenes from Unravel Me with the same exact dialogue  only with the addition of Adam’s thoughts. 

It seems that the author decided to make Adam super condescending and ignorant which I expected because now Warner is the main love interest but the extent to which the author made Adam unlikable was a bit overdone and out-of-character for him. The only good thing about Adam in this book was his love for James.
