What I’ve concluded this from reading this book: I must have a thing for psychotic guys? Anyway, Warner tugged at my heartstrings throughout this book and I loved his character development.
Juliette is finally becoming a character I’m growing to love. The first book mainly showcased her standing in the sidelines, which though made sense for her character, was starting to get old.
This story is one of mental and physical resistance. What I like about Juliette as a character is she’s never been one to be like “I’m so tough because of what I’ve been through.” What she has experienced in her life is extreme trauma. No one would be able to turn around from that without severe mental health consequences. This story is not her shoving away her trauma, but starting to embrace what happened in the past and not exactly “overcome” it per se, but realize that it’s always going to be a part of her life and she can’t change that, but she can keep moving forward.
I would highly recommend continuing on this series even if you weren’t the biggest fan of the first book, trust me it gets better.

This book is never ending. The twists and turns that the author made make the book never boring. Just like in Destroy Me you get to see the characters become deeper.
