3.5

So this rating is kinda gonna be all over the place bc I have a lot of thoughts. Overall I liked this book and I kinda liked the happily ever after for Juliette and Warner, but like most of this book was just fluff. Like why was there so much of Warner being in a mood and thinking about Juliette instead of actual plot. Idk but I still liked it though and found it entertaining. I think I would've liked it more if I hadn't waited months after reading the rest of the series before reading this book. I also liked how we got to see more of actual plans for the future of the world and even just sector 45 (?? I don't remember which sector but I think thats it) with the rebuilding of homes and hospitals and care being given to former asylum prisoner/patients. I just thought it was interesting that the book wasn't told from Juliette's pov. Like don't get me wrong though I loved Warner's thoughts, but like I kinda mentioned earlier Juliette was the one actually planning and doing things, and Warner was just kind of going along with it. I also liked seeing Warner's emotions and how other people actually affect him. I think this book easily could've been a shorter 70-100 page novella like the others, but everyone knew it was gonna be the last in the series, so they were begging for ad much as possible. I kinda thought the sex scenes were random though. Like I liked them but I feel like one minute they were having a bit of miscommunication/lack of communication and then the next they were fucking. Like the 180 was kinda wild. But like it's smut so I can't really complain. Um idk what else to say I liked Juliette and Warner's true connection and love enough though I felt like we got less of it in this book and overall it was an entertaining read, but it didn't add much to the story plot wise
