It’s gets pretty sad but it’s definitely worth reading to the end.

This book gave me more Warner content, which I loved, but really not much happened. Except that eventually new information, which really felt like it came out of nowhere (which made it feel a little too out there), was revealed that turned everything on its head. Also I'm not terribly sure why we put Juliette in charge with her total experience of none.

This book was okay, i just have a few things to say. 
First of all, you would think
a 17 year old girl who just killed the supreme commander/president of north america and taken over his role
would be too busy to focus almost entirely on her relationship, but no. Im sorry, you have
a country to lead,
GET IT TOGETHER.
Also Juliette is somehow more unlikeable in this book, “no one wants to help me im all alone” to “why does everyone think i need to be babied all the time” she was so obviously not ready to take on that role, why the fuck didnt anyone stop her, like that is a CHILD?!
Lastly i understand the signifigance of the diary and that it is supposed to show her the asylum messed her up, but it reads like notes app poetry, and felt so unserious at times.
I did however really like the duo pov, and how kenji and warners relationship grew.
Also the ending?!? (A little cliché but thats okay)

Honestly other than the end, this book was a snooze. I'm not sure I could tell you anything that happened that was super significant. I adore Juliette but this entire book was just like a backtrack from the last one. Warner has seemed to evolve so thats cool. I'm hoping the next book is better.

OMG!!!! I absolutely loved this book. Juliette's character development was very perfectly written. And even Aaron is trying to be a little polite ro others for Juliette's sake. 

The book contains lots of REVELATION! (sadly for me I've already known about it because well people love to spoil other's experience of a book). But, even after I knew the spoiler not for once I was bored or anything. I was totally intrigued and hooked with the story from starting to the very end. 

The characters, the chemistry between Aaron and Juliette, Kenji and Juliette's friendship, the shocking revelations, the Worldbuilding🤌— Tahereh Mafi did it Again!!! 

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!! 

Happy reading🌷.
