Okay, I'm sorry but I just HAVE to point some stuff out about this book. After reading Imagine Me and this book, GOD I MISS MY AARON WARNER FROM BOOK 2-3 SOOOOO BAD IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. how do you mess a character up so bad that i don't even recognise them anymore???? aaron was sooooo emo this whole book and in imagine me i was genuinely considering RIPPING MY HAIR OUT. LIKEE BRO IS SOOOOO FUCKING RUDE FOR NO REASON TO EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. OKAY I GET IT JULIETTE'S NOT AROUND IN IMAGINE ME BUT IN THIS ONE????? YALL ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY. WHAT HAPPENED TO HAPPINESS??? AND THE WAY THERE WAS A MOMENT WHERE JULIETTE WAS SCOLDINGTHE OTHERS FOR BEING "too hard" ON AARON AND EVERYONE LOOKED AWAY IN SHAME WAS FUCKING STUPID LIKE WTFF???? HE WAS SOOOOO MEAN TO THEM!!! THEY HAD EVERY RIGHT!!! HE WASN'T MAKING A SINGLE EFFORT AT ALL LIKE IN THE PREVIOUS BOOKS. IT WAS LIKE, THE MOMENT JULIETTE WAS KIDNAPPED IN DEFY ME BRO GOT TOOOO TRAUMATISED HE LITERALLY SAID "to hell with everyone else I'm going to focus on juliette and only her" CUZ IMAGINE ME WAS SOOO SHIT I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I MANAGED TO FINISH IT. I GET IT HE ALMOST LOST HER NOTHING WOULD MATTER WITHOUT HER BLABLABLA BUT AT THIS POINT HE'S JUST BEING A BITCH AND IT HAS TO STOP. IGNITE ME AARON ACTUALLY WANTED A FUCKING FAMILY. WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT??? AND OMGGGG HE SPENT WAAAAY TOO MUCH TIME WITH THIS ONE REALLY INSIGNIFICANT CHARACTER I WANTED TO TEAR OUT MY EYEBALLS. WHAT HAPPENED TO WANTING TO RECONNECT WITH HIS BROTHERS????? CAN'T THEY HAVE SOME EMOTIONAL CONVERSATIONS???? AND WHY IS HE STILL SOOOO RUDE TO KENJI??? I SWEAR HE WAS DIFFERENT IN IGNITE AND UNRAVEL ME. HE WASN'T A TIME TICKING BOMB. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED???? BRING MY MAN BACKKKKKKK!!!! I SWEAR I HATED HIM BECAUSE I DIDN'T READ DEFY ME YET AT THAT TIME BUT AFTER I DID DAMNNNN I REALLY WANT TO GO REREAD UNRAVEL ME AND IGNITE ME. MAYBE EVEN SHATTER ME. I DIDN'T APPRECIATE HIM WHEN HE WAS AT HIS BEST CUZ I DIDN'T GET THE HYPE OKAY BUT WHEN I FINALLY DID HE STARTED BEING SO FUCKING INSUFFERRABLE!!!!! ISTG IF I EVER LAY EYES ON A PHYSICAL COPY OF IMAGINE ME, I'M BURNING IT. moving on. THE MISCOMMUNICATION???? BRO YOU GUYS LITERALLY PROMISED "no more secrets, etc" IN DEFY ME AND NOW WE'RE THROWING ALL OF THAT OUT OF THE WINDOW BCS "IT'S A SURPRISE" CRAP????? I'm sure any sane fucking person wouldn't want to know that they're getting married literally ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING!! NOT TO MENTION, AARON  ALREADY SAID IN DEFY ME THAT HE FUCKING HATES SURPRISES. WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO REMEMBER, JULIETTE????? AND OH. MY. GOD. TAHEREH MAFI LITERALLY DROPPED A WHOLE CANNONBALL ON US WHEN SHE MENTIONED IN IGNITE ME THAT AARON HAS A "SOFT SPOT FOR FASHION" BUT THEN YOU'RE TELLING ME HE THEN LATER ON PROCEEDS TO FUCKING DECIDE TO GET MARRIED IN A SWEATER?????? KENJI LITERALLY WAS LIKE "bro wtf are you doing??" AND AARON STILL HAD NO CLUE???? BRO IT'S YOUR FUCKING WEDDING DAY. I SWEAR IGNITE ME AARON WOULD NEVERRRRRR BE LIKE "i don't care about weddings i just want to be with you blablablabla." ESPECIALLY WITHOUT KNOWING JULIETTE'S THOUGHTS ON THE WEDDING ANDDDDD BRO COME ON. BRO LITERALLY THOUGHT SHE LIKED HIM BECAUSE SHE SHOT HIM. OF COURSE HE FANTASIZED ABOUT THEIR WEDDING TOO!! and omfggggggggg don't even get me started on the dog. Do you know how significant the dog scene was for me in unravel me and destroy me????? And now YOU'RE TELLING ME AARON WARNER ANDERSON HATES ANIMALS AND DOGS AND THINKS THEY'RE DISGUSTING???????? IDK MAFI, HAVE YOU READ THE SERIES OR WHAT???!!!! i will never forgive you for that. And at this point after all of that, i don't even think it's worth mentioning that this is a fucking WEDDING novella and we didn't even get the wedding part. YES OF COURSE WE WANTED AN ENTIRE WEDDING SCENE WTFFFF???? BUT NOOOO THIS ONE IS LITERALLY "she walks down the aisle. She's so fucking beautiful. I love her to the moon and back. xoxo. The end." I ACTUALLY CRIED. AND IT WASN'T HAPPY TEARS. The ONLY reason this book gets a 4.25 rating from me is because it has plenty of 5 star worthy scenes too but all of this other shitty parts of the book made it impossible for me to rate this book any higher. I know i might seem like I'm talking too much shit about this book, but honestly it's all of the pent up frustration from imagine me too, for the most part, there was a lott of heartwarming scenes in this book.
