2.0

When I started reading this book I really wasn’t a fan but by the end I have been debating reading the next one? 
I didn’t love it but I’m intrigued to see if the story gets better as the series continues? 
I also wasn’t a big fan of the writing style- just personal preference but I know there will be people out there who adore it!! 
Who knows maybe I’ll love the series if I keep reading it but for now a 2.

This was an excellent novel. I love Juliette and Adam. Warner intrigues me. It was a very fast read. Magi’s style of writing is very unique.

I definitely do not hate Warner on this cause I already spoiled by others who recommend this series to me. First of all I’m in love with Warner just how attractive he is and of course Adam also cute. Literally out of context, I also love how this book reminded me of taylor swift. This book is well written. I am so pissed with the fact that Juliette shoot Warner. 

“I am not insane.”

Some poetic writing. The description was beautiful. I was literally here for the vibes and I really enjoyed it but logically? It was just okay. 

Maybe i’ll come back and update this when I finally stew on it.

I finally gave in to the hype after a friend of mine read it and I'm still in doubt if the hype is deserved.
I really liked the portrayal of the chaos in Juliette's mind and the fast-paced style fit the book. 
But I couldn't yet bond with any of the characters expect

the ones at Omega Point. Adam is so toxic and Warner isn't (yet?) the one Book tok made him, although I know I should always be careful with. Booktok's portrayal of characters. 
Furthermore there wasn't much depth to what happens in those two weeks before Juliette planned to escape with Adam. What was she doing? More importantly, what was Warner doing with her? I would've liked to see some more developme
nt of the details.

I will continue the series in the hopes that the writing style will become better.
