Despite Juliette had a strong character development here, I don’t think this book deserves more stars than Unravel Me. But here are some quotes from the blond 5’7 man.

“You are magnificent. You are extraordinary.” Aren’t you convinced he’s British in this line? Because I was.

“I grieve nothing. I take everything.”
“Ignite, my love. Ignite.” These two lines got me goosebumps.

edit:
I know I just finished this yesterday but I've been thinking a lot about it and I have to lower my rating to 3 stars. Considering this is a dystopian series, there was just too much focus on the romance (I still enjoyed that part though).

I'm actually quite hesitant to give this 4 stars. But compared to Shatter Me and Unravel Me, I probably enjoyed this one the most. Even though there were quite a few things I didn't like. Adams character development was so disappointing. Yeah, he kinda came around in the end but still. In my opinion the ending was quite rushed.

But I did like Juliette's character development. That was amazing. And omg Warner. Probably my favorite part of this book. Although I didn't like how most of his actions from previous books have been 'explained away'. That kind of seemed like... cheating? I don't know but I didn't like it.

This book was my favorite out of the trilogy. It was beautifully written with wonderful character arcs and poetic quotes. I enjoyed the romance in this and Juliette and Aaron have quickly became one of my book couple. I LOVE Kenji and the platonic connection between him and Juliette. I felt like I couldn’t put this book down and came to love how bad ass Juliette was. The only reason this is not 5 stars is because I felt like the other characters could have been developed a little bit more and the plot could’be been more drawn out and complex. But overall, this book was so good.

This is definitely the best book out of the series yet , and I think the author was planning on it being the last ? The developement of Juliette was great in this book and the strength she had was inspiring . I also loved Aaron and kenji  as well as the character dynamics and structure of this book also more that previously . I thought that it had a very resolved ending so I’m really exited to see what the series brings 💕

It erased what i wrote and now im maduuugh

Spoilers + rambling for me ->


Okkk so basically i love the growth of juliette in this book, she finally stopped, seeing her telling fuck you adam was amazing. I loved when she said I'm choosing him and not by default.

I love Warner with all my heart poor baby suffered for 3 books and she finallyyyyy gave him a bit of *repit* like I was mad for half of the book and then everything was better. 

Kenji is amazing
Fuck adam 
Love James
Is anderson really dead ??

I understand why i stopped at this book the 1st time, I just want to believe there is a happy ending and that's it
But I neeeeeed to power through 

I loved seeing my old annotations, from a year ago. It was very fun seeing me loosing my mind. 

Yes i read this from 2 to 7am and finished it at 3pm
I am unwell but u know, it happens i guess...

Little throwback for future me : Yesterday night was the eurovision, the drama 🥲 with the nl disqualified and the whole israel thing 💀 
ANYWAY

LOVED THAT BOOK 5*
