“And we are quotation marks, inverted and upside down, clinging to one another at the end of this life sentence. Trapped by lives we did not choose. It’s time, I think, to break free.” Juliette has transformed so much over the course of three books and I am so proud of her. She’s come so far to finally be comfortable in her own skin. Kenji is unapologetically hilarious, he’s still my favorite character. It was nice (but still very sad) to see him finally open up about how he feels. Adam is at the very bottom of my list. While I so truly understand his hurt, that does not justify his actions and I will never see him the same. Unlike his *SPOILER ALERT* brother, Warner remains at the top of my list solidifying his position more and more. His love for Juliette warms my heart. I truly wished things ended differently for his *SPOILER ALERT* mother. Side note: I need someone to talk to me like Warner does when they’re about to do the dirty. I will say the ending over all felt underwhelming and too easy. It was all achieved so quickly. But I feel that the next book will quickly dampen that feeling. Overall, great read. Definitely recommend.

I got so emotional when it turned out that not everybody died. Tho i had hopes that Omega Point hasn’t been completely destroyed it was sad to find it in ruins. And i love Juliette and Aaron so much in this part.

Great third instalment. Enjoyed Juliette’s character development and that things didn’t perfectly fall into place for Aaron or Adam but really liked all the side characters developing too. Writing is great.

Damm if I though the last book was good this one is even better! Juliette really comes into her own in this one. She is more confident and creates boundaries while maintaining her character. Still love Warner and Kenji. I am super excited about these next few books!!
