If you asked me if I liked this book 300 pages in I would have said no. Honestly this book sucked. Boring and gross and depressing. But Mafi manages to once again make a full recovery in the end. I even cried. I hate to say it but the end was so sweet the whole gross Anderson thing seems less offensive.

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.

Imagine me was my least fav of the whole series. I was annoyed when reading the entire time, waiting for something satisfying to happen. And damn, that one scene with Aaron, I was in tears. Thank god it’s fast-paced and i finished it in like 2.5h reading time. A lot happened, and too much.

this whole juliette-affection-to-anderson thingy was pure disgust. i had to distance myself from my book seeing „You’re very handsome, sir“. No Juliette, no. Just no.

. Anyway, the last 100 pages were the best. The thing i don’t get is… Why is there no warner pov for the majority of the book? It would be great to see his thoughts while those events progressed. Kenji, my beloved, annoyed me in this book. I’m sorry to say and think that, but my dude kenji got on my nerves a lot for the certain things he said. i still love him. aaron broke my heart.  That epilogue was adorable and I’m currently reading believe me, which means, i will be leaving the shatter-me universe.

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!
