My favorite short story, right before the Destroy Me! I love Warner's POV, I wish had had it in Imagine Me...
Also this was really sweet, I shed a few tears in the last chapter 🥲

I think this could be made into an epilogue in imagine me, but nonetheless it was still a quick and light read. I enjoyed seeing the deserved ending for the main couple and them just being happy.

1.6- that too all coz of Kenji and I may have liked some stuff Warner said...

Seriously though, where was KENJI?! He did all the work, all the saving and fighting in the last three books and now that it comes to a happy ending, he's just not there?! He seriously deserves better. He carried the whole series, the entire thing all while Warner and Juliette sorted out their love lives and made love.

Do Kenji and Nazeera not deserve ONE SINGLE HAPPY SCENE after everything they did for Warner and Ella, more like, the entire movement?
Everyone. I mean EVERYONE, including Castle, Sam, Nouria, Winston deserved better than Aaron being a complete dick to them. And Juliette kept defending Warner even when he was being an asshole to everyone.

Both of them were literally so horny all the damn time and honestly even DOG deserves better...

I get it. I get that Warner has went through so much. His own father kept erasing his memories, he couldn't ever be with Ella but was still drawn to her like a magnet. He's never felt loved. Every year his father beat him. He was tortured, abused and whatnot. I genuinely understand that it was hard and very tough and no child ever should have to go through that just because of a psychotic father. But not all of us can make that our personalities. Juliette and Aaron both need to understand that. Kenji has had it hard, so has Nazeera and so have all the Supreme kids, all the civilians, members of The Sanctuary, each of them has had it hard, it was difficult for them too, unbearable at times. Kenji used to have to give himself a pep talk to just go through the day and smile and joke with everyone else.

Not everyone went on making their grief and trauma their entire personality all the time like they did.
The entire novella was so boring that I'd honestly rather watch ice cubes melt (done that)

Warner needs to stop acting like this swooning guy who'll die within a minute if he doesn't see his fiancee. He literally gave me a headache and I hate him for that.

I kinda want to write more but I'd rather not coz then I'd be here all day.
