I had a great time reading this, it was quite emotional but also funny, exciting - and sometimes a little bit cringe. The MC was either very scared, very angry or very horny, not much inbetween. Then again, she is a traumatised teenager so I guess that makes sense. I liked the side characters a lot. There was one instance where I thought the writer was being really racist?? I don't really know what was going on there. There were more plottwists than in the first book, some of them were surprising and some of them I had already anticipated, it was okay. Adam gave me really strong Gale/Jacob vibes right from the start, if you know what I mean.

A gripping and fast-paced sequel to Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me. I really enjoyed the continuation of the story in this book and loved all the different characters that we get to meet and know more.
I did find Juliette’s character rather wishy-washy throughout and Adam’s brooding just made me want to slap him but Kenji’s characterization and character arc as well as Warner’s re-introduction was brilliant and really enthralling.
I also loved that we got to see more of James and how he has adapted to life at Omega Point.
The action was non-stop and the constant revelations, red-herrings, and twists and turns left me reeling, from frustrated one moment to OMG the next! It was honestly brilliant and the writing style used to convey Juliette’s character is really well done and poetic. I loved it. Not as much as Shatter Me, but still an amazing book!

What I’ve concluded this from reading this book: I must have a thing for psychotic guys? Anyway, Warner tugged at my heartstrings throughout this book and I loved his character development.
Juliette is finally becoming a character I’m growing to love. The first book mainly showcased her standing in the sidelines, which though made sense for her character, was starting to get old.
This story is one of mental and physical resistance. What I like about Juliette as a character is she’s never been one to be like “I’m so tough because of what I’ve been through.” What she has experienced in her life is extreme trauma. No one would be able to turn around from that without severe mental health consequences. This story is not her shoving away her trauma, but starting to embrace what happened in the past and not exactly “overcome” it per se, but realize that it’s always going to be a part of her life and she can’t change that, but she can keep moving forward.
I would highly recommend continuing on this series even if you weren’t the biggest fan of the first book, trust me it gets better.

I really liked it, we get to see Juliette to really grow up, and put the big-girl pants on, the angst between Juliette and Aaron is so heartbreaking, here is when you ver to see Aaron grow more as a character, and you get to see more of him as a person with deep feelings for his girl. I love how they show us more about the other gifted people aside from Juliette and we get to learn more about the whole world
