Most of this novella is plot we’ve already read, just with a different, but equally melodramatic, POV. There was really nothing interesting in this novella except that apparently when Adam’s brother is in danger he doesn’t care about Juliette anymore. He’s just a lot, and the prose was boring bc it didn’t have any of Juliette or Warner’s quirks to keep it lively. If I had to read a whole novel from Adam’s perspective, I don’t know if I’d make it, but thankfully this was super short.

I think I'm one of the few people that actually like Adam. Granted I've only read up to this novella, but I just don't understand why he gets so much flak. Although I do admit his character lacks a lot of personality, he does seem to be one of the few rational members of the group (sometimes). And I do think his feelings towards Warner and throughout the entire novella were justified. 
However, although I understand why he did it (James does come first and I love how much he cares for his brother), I'm still mad he didn't break barriers to go find Juliette. Like why was Kenji fighting more to find Juliette than Adam? The same guy that says she's the love of his life. Like I get it, family first, but he wasn't helping his case especially when they found out that Juliette is "dead" at the end of the novella.

adam’s kinda overhated imo

i love his love for james, sibling love is so important to me and even though i think he *is* awfully clingy to juliette, i can’t blame him.

as usual, i devoured this and i need to buy ignite me really soon.

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
