“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.

SPOILER-


Overall I enjoyed reading this book although I did not like the way that it was written. There was a lot of stutters(s-stutters) which annoyed me and the grammar was not was incorrect. -For example when the author was listing people she would list them as followed __ and __and__.
