I really enjoyed the plot development of this book and the fact that we finally got some answers to the billions of questions! I really enjoyed having a lot more of Warner and Kenji's POV and it made me so happy when

everyone finally reunited towards the end. Also, Aaron finally getting a proper birthday actually made me tear up.

Juliette has really grown on me over the last couple of books and I'm loving that with the deepening of each friendship and relationship, the more secrets come out.

“I will love you for the rest of my life. My heart is yours. Please don't ever give it back to me.”

I love the addition of POVs.

This book was too short, I needed more of...everything!

SPOILER WARNING

Spoiler

Ella and Aaron are the epitome of soulmates. They endlessly fell in love with each other, over and over again even after both their memories were erased?! The second trilogy has given so much more depth to Juliette Ella and Warner Aaron’s relationship. Their intense love for each other made so much more sense after seeing their interactions as small kids and as 14 and 16 year old teenagers. I can only dream of finding such a love.

“The reason he had to keep wiping their memories was because it didn’t matter how many times he reset the story or remade the introductions— Aaron always fell in love with her. Every time.”

“I love you, Ella. I will love you for the rest of my life. My heart is yours. Please don't ever give it back to me.”

“'Marry me,' he whispers.…'Yes,' I cry, slightly hysterical. 'Yes, yes to everything with you. Yes to forever with you. Yes.'”

I cried through nearly the whole last 50 pages of this book.
Aaron asking Juliette(Ella or whatever I call her now) to marry him?! Tears streaming down my face. That was so perfect and they deserve every piece of happiness ever
“I love you Ella. I will love you for the rest of my life. My heart is yours. Please don’t ever give it back to me” AWWWWWW
