The book get's a 0.1 star bump up because I was so happy when I finished it I legit screamed "yipee"
I honestly I don't understand the hype for this series. I'll give a more detailed review for the entire Shatter Me series under the first book but this novella felt like I wasn't even reading about the same characters. Like what happened to Warner loving dogs? And why tf did Juliette not tell THE GROOM of the wedding about it getting postponed. WHY? Their relationship has no communication, no meaning behind physical attraction. I just don't understand? Warner seems to go through all this character growth but the moment he's separated from Juliette (or Ella- DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE NAME CHANGE) he gets all emo. And I know I hated Adam in the first few books but I when I actually want to know more about him he gets mentioned like twice. The moment the actual stuff is supposed to happened (COUGH COUGH THE WEDDING) the book ends. Honestly this book deserves one star because wtf did I just read. Also I hated the smut scene, I'm a strong believer in no detailed sex scenes in young adult books and that's all that happened in this book. 💀
