audiobook (libby) - 2 super short stories to bridge the gap between books 1 and 2 and help the reader better understand
how Juliette goes from having successfully escape and with the resistance group to being possibly captured/killed and the resistance base having been bombed.
As these are bridge the gap mini-stories there is not a lot of character/world building and tough for anyone to just read these and understand the characters/events fully.

“No one wants a dandelion.
They crop up all over the place, ugly and unfortunate, an average blossom in a world desperatly seeking beauty. They're weeds, people say. They're uninteresting and offer no fragrance and there are too many of them, too much of them, we don't want them, destroy them.
Dandelions are a nuisance,
We desire the buttercups, the daffodils, the morning glories. We want the azalea, the poinsettia, the calla lily. We pluck them from our gradens and plant them in our homes and we don't seem to remember their toxic nature.
We don't seem to care that
if you get too close?
if you take a small bite?
The beauty is replaced wit pain and laced with a posion that laughs in your blood, destroys your organs, infevts your heart.
But pick a dandelion.
Pick a dandelion and make a salad, eat the leaves, the flower, the stem. Thread it in your hair, plant it in the ground and watch it thrive.
Pick a dandelion and close your eyes
make a wish
blow it into the wind.

Watch it
change
the
world.” 

Loved Warner's POV and Juliette's diary. Adam's POV was a bit meh :(

3.5/5 ⭐️

I’m going to keep it short,
I liked it, it was fast-paced (like the other books), and we get important in-tell/thoughts from Warner and Adams perspective.
There’s not really anything to dislike about it. It’s a very tiny book. Didn’t really keep me on the edge of my seat, but I already knew what kind of book I was getting into, so I’m not disappointed.
All in all, pretty good. Kind of hesitated on using the word “good”. It was pretty decent.

It DID take me a while to finish, because I kept taking breaks in-between. I don’t think that really matters but just in case it does, now you know.

ALSO, I wanna add that Juliette’s journal part has me bring out my markers. And I’ve (almost) NEVER annotated my books.

Fracture me made me realize how much Adam is underestimating Juliette. And It ended so frustratingly… does he even actually love her? Cause I was NOT getting that vibe.
I’m going to stop ranting.
