“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.

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!!

My favourite book of the series so far. Warner in this book had me screaming, giggling and kicking my feet. With Adam, I wanted to push him off of a cliff. I loved Juliette's character development in this one, she's grown to be so much stronger compared to the other books in the series. I also love her friendship with Kenji <3 The only reason this book wasn't 5 stars is because I felt that the 'climax' of the book was underwhelming and was over way too quickly. I feel like Juliette's plan was kind of mediocre and should not have worked out as well as it did. Other than that, I had a really good time and finished 90% of the book in one sitting. Can't wait to see what happens in the rest of the series. LYHFML
