“I’m lonely but I’m not alone. My body works, my brain works, I’m alive. It’s a good life. I have to make a conscious effort to remember that. To choose to be happy every day. If I didn’t, I think my own pain would’ve killed me a long time ago.”
Juliette is still reeling from Warner's betrayal, and Kenji is trying to balance his friendship with her with his responsibilities as a leader of the resistance against the Reestablishment. Things get even more interesting when an unexpected person from Omega Point’s past surfaces.
This novella was from Kenji's POV and that both made me and broke me. Seeing all of his inner feelings be brought out and how vulnerable he was with Nazeera undid me. Everything Kenji felt was so hard-hitting if you take into account how he's been portrayed up until this point. I'm so excited to see how his friendship with Aaron will develop, how his relationship with Nazeera will bloom and how even stronger his bond with Juliette will become. Definitely my favourite novella yet!

This novella is from Kenji’s POV. I feel like if you had to just read one novella, it would be this one. There are quite a few details that seem to be important in understanding the plot. I don’t know if you absolutely have to read it but I would recommend it. I love Kenji, he is one of my favorite characters, so it was fun to peek behind the curtains and see into Kenji’s mind. Kenji has always been the comic relief, so it’s interesting to see from his perspective what a roll that takes on someone who is also going through grief and trauma. He doesn’t want to paste a smile on all the time, you don’t want to have to make people laugh when you’re hurting too.
Age rating: 14+, I think they got permission to use more curse words in this book and future books, so beware of that
