adam >>> and kenji is the loml he's so funny fr. the character development is SO GOOD i was expecting it to be confusing w the whole stricken out text thing but it's surprisingly easy to follow. i lowkey dislike warner and i'm deffo team adam rn but the characterisation of warner is rlly good!! whenever warner calls juliette "love" omg... but the plot twists are so good like i was so certain smth was gonna happen BUT NO SMTH ELSE HAPPENS and then warner just exists and u cant even hate him bc he's kind of pretty. it's a really fast read tbh, i finished it in 2 days but it's a long series so i'll deffo j be continuously reading the series bc this book was SO GOOD and has me so intrigued. booktwt definitely didn't disappoint w hyping it up, it's really well written and the characters are my favs i adore all of them, especially kenji and adam. could have probs picked a better name than juliette for the main character let's b real but anyway we won't hold a grudge against that. but yeah it's a really good book and i'd recommend it<3 (also bonus points for the cover, it's ABSOLUTELY stunning)

i wouldn't recommend reading the book on public transport, that's all imma say. especially if the scene is adam/juliette focused.

i loved this book. I loved the writing style, how it reflected so well on Juliette’s state of mind, how it evolved throughout the book, her relationship with Adam, i just loved everything. The plot was good, it had a fast pace and short chapters, it kept me hooked. I’m left with SO many questions unanswered so it lowers my rating a little bit.

i don’t get why Warner is so loved throughout this series and Adam is so hated on. I don’t understand Warner’s motives and his actions, he’s an enigma for me. I don’t understand anything he does or says, like when he said he loved her i was like ????? since when. I’d like to see him explain more in these next books.
Adam is so sweet, i think he is a little overprotective though but he’s still my n1 ship with Juliette. It really intrigues me how Tahereh Mafi is going to make me love Warner and hate Adam, because at this point i feel it the other way around. 

i’ll read destroy me to have a warner pov because i need it and then i’ll read unravel me.
Juliette <3 she’s so strong and amazing, i love her. I love that she has a weak state of mind, her chain of thought is so disorganized but she’s still questioning things about the people and places around her.

I loved this, i’m definitely going to continue to read the series. I couldn’t put this down and literally read it in 2 days. I love Juliette and Adam and also love Warner despite him being an ass.
