Juliette's character development made this a much more pleasant read than the previous installments in the series. Much fewer instances of her racing thoughts and strikethroughs. Instead of just tolerating her, I now feel like I truly like her, and I was really rooting for her throughout the book.
And Adam... my nemesis. I have to say that although he's so much worse of a person in this book, I actually found that it made his character more enjoyable. I would much rather yell at and hate a character than just find them utterly boring.
"'How can I hate his anger,' he says, 'when I know so well where it comes from?'"
That quote had me on the floor. I felt like I saw some of my own family dynamics within it. I think it's beautiful.
As you can tell though, this still was not a 5-star read for me. Why? The plot. I feel like this series does not succeed as a dystopian. There is very little worldbuilding throughout the series, and most of the story is based around Juliette's feelings about herself, Adam, and Warner.
Overall, I think this is a very satisfying conclusion to the series that outshines every other previous installment. I don't plan to read the other three books yet, but I believe I will one day. As of right now though, I am happy to let it end here on such a high note.
