I feel like this time Wes’s POV didn’t really add <i>anything</i> to the story. I expected a more angsty inner monologue about him having lost Liz and about him missing her, maybe even have him second guessing what he did wrong or could have done differently, but instead most of this novella was just a rehash of the same dialogue from the original book with only a few (<i>very few</i>) thoughts of Wes sprinkled in-between. It felt totally unnecessary and maybe even a little boring with its repetitiveness. I expected a lot more. 
Wes just didn’t give me the same obsessed, whipped vibes here as he did in the other bonus scenes I have read in his POV. He seriously didn’t seem like the same guy at all. Apart from him not being as obsessed, the tone of his inner monologue was also different. I can’t exactly explain it, but this was a disappointing read for me.

My version was written really weirdly with the pronouns saying “he”, “she”, “it” and “I” when referring to the same person. It did affect the reading experience but it was still cute.

The sequel better give me that yearning and angst because his POV in this is not enough.
