“I can love him, but I can’t depend on him to be my backbone. I can’t be my own person if I constantly require someone else to hold me together.” I couldn’t put this book down, read it all in a whole day. The plot is so addicting, like you just HAVE to know how the story continues. Kenji is my favorite character. We see a different, more serious side of him and start to wonder about his life before he met Juliette. We see more of Warner and his love for Juliette genuinely makes you root for him to be end game. Adam, sweet, Adam. He’s perfect, but there’s something about Warner who only has a soft spot for Juliette that makes him so more appealing. Also….we will NOT talk about the “Adam incident”. I threw my book at the wall. Anywho, read this book, read this series. You have too.

Juliette is one of the most self-pitying, boy-obsessed idiot I’ve ever read. She’s so busy wallowing in self-pity and she’s reckless and doesn’t think her actions through. For about 50% of the book, she mopes and whines about Adam and how she’s a monster and how everyone is mean and she doesn’t care about anyone except Adam. She spends all of her time ignoring everyone at Omega Point, refusing to interact with anyone that wasn’t him. She even forgot he has a little brother! It really irked me the way she yelled at Castle, a Black man, but then let Warner, a white boy, say whatever he wanted with little interruption. I do like Juliette finally getting over her self loathing and pity part thanks to best boy Kenji, who I love with all my heart. Warner, on the other hand, was kind of meh. The entire drama of Juliette/Aaron/Adam kind of overshadowed the plot. If Adam had just told her what was going on, a lot of things would’ve been easier.
