i loved hearing from warner’s side of things. really good novella getting in to his mind as well as finding out what is happening now that juliette is somewhere else and getting our first idea of what his dad is like and his past.

If you like Warner, this whole novella is written from his POV. If you don’t like him, it might convince you to dislike him a little less. As far as content goes, it’s one of two things all 107 pages: child abuse (parent/child abuse) or reminiscing over Juliette. That’s it, that’s the whole novella, I still enjoyed it more than the first book since we’re exploring a new POV and it helps shed some light on the reason Warner behaves the way he does.
