I am starting to like Aaron! I am very scared to bc I am not liking this whole Reestablishment business but he's a misguided sweetheart. I hope we get him out of there in the future!

Seeing Warner's side of the story is important. I still don't like him, but I don't think I'm supposed to at this point. I can see he's got issues, like most characters in this series. I just think he's still too obsessed with Juliette for me to reasonably call it "love." Not yet anyway. I'm still waiting for him to get his shit together and actually see past her lethal touch.

I was shocked and excited when I realized this was from Aaron Warner’s pov! I loved being able to get inside his head and hear more of his back story. Most of this novella is based on his obsession with Juliette or his dad. I did feel like I was missing something in this novella, which is why I rated it 4 stars.

Nothing really happened, but it was an interesting character study on Warner, and I liked reading Juliette’s diary entries.
