Would describe this novella as fine. Didn’t really give me a great deal. The first half especially felt like a waste of time because it was a bunch of dialogue we’d already read word for word in Unravel Me, just this time with a couple of internal thoughts from Adam’s POV.
I did really like understanding a bit more about Adam and James’s brotherly relationship though and how James is Adam’s priority, and so he should be.
I guess this novella just provides the perspective of the other remaining Omega Point characters who managed to survive and describes how they all end the book thinking Juliette is dead. But besides that this feels kinda futile.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.

My respect for Adam is out the window. The day before he would have put his life on the line for Juliette and now he’s questioning if she’s worth dying for smh 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not that the book is bad I just dislike Adam

The  first 3/4 of this book was so boring to me since so much of it is scenes from Unravel Me with the same exact dialogue  only with the addition of Adam’s thoughts. 

It seems that the author decided to make Adam super condescending and ignorant which I expected because now Warner is the main love interest but the extent to which the author made Adam unlikable was a bit overdone and out-of-character for him. The only good thing about Adam in this book was his love for James.
