Believe Me by Tahereh Mafi
3.0
This was a very nice ending to the series, and it definitely wrapped up a lot of things, but there as so many open threads and points that were just brushed past.
I’m not sure when the change happened, but everyone seems to have gone from overly sensitive to just rude most of the time. Aaron was stressed and rude in Imagine me, but this has translated into everyone hating him again, and Juliette made the point that everyone was bullying him. Their relationship was also weird in this one, communication has always been an issued but in this one where everything is so unstable, they all thought that lying would be better? Especially because everyone decided that this would be the time to take out their petty grievances out on him, Such as Nouria telling him that he might not get married for months when it was happening the next day just to be petty.
My problems with the novellas in this series is that they all tend to have the exact same events just from a different perspective, but this one wasn’t even a different perspective. The first 2 chapters were identical to the epilogue of Imagine Me, which considering I read them in order was quite annoying. I think that this book could have just had some of the miscommunication cut out and had the wedding added on as the epilogue of Imagine Me and it would have had the same impact.
