This book was okay, i just have a few things to say. 
First of all, you would think
a 17 year old girl who just killed the supreme commander/president of north america and taken over his role
would be too busy to focus almost entirely on her relationship, but no. Im sorry, you have
a country to lead,
GET IT TOGETHER.
Also Juliette is somehow more unlikeable in this book, “no one wants to help me im all alone” to “why does everyone think i need to be babied all the time” she was so obviously not ready to take on that role, why the fuck didnt anyone stop her, like that is a CHILD?!
Lastly i understand the signifigance of the diary and that it is supposed to show her the asylum messed her up, but it reads like notes app poetry, and felt so unserious at times.
I did however really like the duo pov, and how kenji and warners relationship grew.
Also the ending?!? (A little cliché but thats okay)
