All three stars are for the Warner content. The rest was overly emotional, and Juliette, albeit upset good reasons, can be kind of insufferable in the beginning. The first half is slow, but once the plot actually starts it's a good read. It's another one to get through in order to get to the next books.

Big improvement on the first book for me. The non-romance plot was more focused, the romance plot actually gave us reasons to root for Warner, or at the very least empathise with him (and it wasn't the dumb dog bit), and it didn't even have to make Adam into a bad guy to do it. Juliette figures out that love can't magically fix everything wrong with her life and that she is capable of being a complete person without needing Adam to be her emotional crutch. 

I will say that some of the writing gets a little bit cringey, but it's improved. We aren't subjected to classic lines like Shatter Me's "my dreams are bloody and bleeding and blood is bleeding".

First book of the year?!?!

The book wasn't too bad honestly it had a great story, the writing was amazing etc but I found it INCREFIBALLY hard to read ahaha

I think it was really just because Juliette had her prioritys wrong and she was so like complainy and pitying her self too much! 

I mean they were going off to war and she ADMITTED that all she could think about was her bad love life like girl-

BUT OVERALL IT WASNT BAD AND IM EXCITED FOR THE NEXT!
