Most of this novella is plot we’ve already read, just with a different, but equally melodramatic, POV. There was really nothing interesting in this novella except that apparently when Adam’s brother is in danger he doesn’t care about Juliette anymore. He’s just a lot, and the prose was boring bc it didn’t have any of Juliette or Warner’s quirks to keep it lively. If I had to read a whole novel from Adam’s perspective, I don’t know if I’d make it, but thankfully this was super short.

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
