5.0

I gave this book five stars because of how much I enjoyed it, not because it's necessarily groundbreaking. I am obsessed with all of the Warner scenes and the dynamics between the people involved. I did not put this book down, in middle school or now. I have reread this book multiple times over the years and will probably read it again.

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!!

Favorite one in the series by far my favorite  chapter was 56 and you can’t tell me otherwise loved the character development.

Warners mothers death literally made me cry my eyes out and the fact that Dealule had no idea breaks my heart.

(MINOR SPOILERS)

An absolutely gripping third installment in the shatter me series. I adored this book so much more than the first two and really loved the character development and arcs that we got to explore.

Juliette finally stood up for herself and gained so much more character and all my feelings for Adam were completely realised. Warners journey was brilliantly done and I loved his antagonist to protagonist journey throughout. Everyone elses story was wonderful and the writing style was just fantastic as always. I cannot wait to get into the rest of the series and find out how everything unfolds.

Also, the steam really hotted up in this book to the point where I don't usually like closed-door romances but this worked so well and the tantilising slow burn was wonderful.
