I don't know how I felt about this book. I liked the flashbacks from Ella to Juliette and how that changed her behaviour. I don't understand why Emmaline wasn't talked about enough? After Oceania she wasn't spoken about again. I would've liked to see more interactions between Adam + James and Kenji + Nazeera. I also don't fully understand why Aaron was still rude to everyone even though he has good relationships with most of them and doesn't have any reason to dislike them. All of the interactions between Juliette and Anderson made me so uncomfortable, especially because she found him attractive. Overall, I sort of struggled to get through it around the mid way point. However, "come back to me, love" killed me.

“Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life”. I LOVED THIS. Amazing ending to an even better series. I love all the characters with my whole heart and the plot was great even if I went ew sometimes.

Most of the story was a bit confusing and I wasn't really sure what was happening, but overall it was really good. The last page was my favourite out of the whole book!

It was great read. Arron and Juliette (or Ella) got the ending they deserved. (They're getting married ✨)
But I felt like the ending was kinda rushed. There were a places where the book got kinda slow and the plot wasn’t explained very well. And certain things were repeated over and over. Warner & Juliette's interaction was kinda less

I am so close to finish the series and I am not okay. I want to get more Kenjeera moments tho. Quite disappointed. 

“That’s only because you don’t know him well enough,” Castle says, smiling at me. “Besides, we don’t love him for his jokes, do we, Nazeera?” The two of them lock eyes for a moment. “We love him for his heart.”
“At that, the smile slips from my face.”

CUTEEEEE

“To the world, she is formidable.  
To me?
She is the world.”

I don’t want to end this series AAAAAAAAAA (cried and screaming internal and externally)

Forget to mention when I think about it, Juliette is kinda annoying and cringy when she forgot her memories like literally girl be attracted to the whole family…
