So far this series is really good! I think this first book is a lot of world building and character introductions. The middle of the book seems like the beginning. I am very glad there are more books to expand on Juliette and Warner. I so far don't trust Adam and love Kenji and Juliette. I think the world building works very well it just means the into is super slow.

This was an amazing book that I could barely bring myself to put down with dystopian themes and lines that will pull at your heartstrings. I would definitely recommend reading this! I’m am definitely going to get the series as soon as I have a chance to!

I finally gave in to the hype after a friend of mine read it and I'm still in doubt if the hype is deserved.
I really liked the portrayal of the chaos in Juliette's mind and the fast-paced style fit the book. 
But I couldn't yet bond with any of the characters expect

Spoiler

the ones at Omega Point. Adam is so toxic and Warner isn't (yet?) the one Book tok made him, although I know I should always be careful with. Booktok's portrayal of characters. 
Furthermore there wasn't much depth to what happens in those two weeks before Juliette planned to escape with Adam. What was she doing? More importantly, what was Warner doing with her? I would've liked to see some more developme
nt of the details.

I will continue the series in the hopes that the writing style will become better.
