I really enjoyed this short-story on Liam. This takes place between the first and second books. We see Liam has he struggles with some confusing memories due to the event of the first book (if you haven't read the first book, please stop reading this or it will get spoilery :)).
Even if the main plot of this short-story isn't about this, you can tell that it is still present because every decision made seems to come around the fact that he feels something is missing and that he can't leave.
Which leads him in a big of trouble in this and where we see how survival can sometimes make you do things you'd rather not. I know its vague, but I'd rather let you discover this story. Let's just say that even if it is about Liam, other people will have to deal with the consequences of their choice.

We’re exactly where they put us."
So, all my thanks to Alexandra Bracken for making my cry over and over again. Bracken is slowly becoming one of my favorite authors.
I don't know how I got so much feels in this 49 paged novella but. . . idk y'all.
I love Liam.
I love The Darkest Minds.
I'm just so amazed of this book and this world. I don't know what to feel anymore.

So, I finally got around to reading this….
That poor sweet boy. Liam…I seriously just wanted to give him a hug and tell him that it was going to be alright. I was on edge reading this short story, yet I was not at all displeased with it. I fact, I loved how you got to see him between books and how he dealt with the separation and you could see hoe unhinged he had started to become. But man, when he was recalling Ruby, said her name without realizing it, I lost it. I feel in love with Liam, and I will always love that man. I will always hold him dear to my heart, even when it is falling apart with grief and mourning for my own family, and when authors—ahem, Bracken—are piercing it with daggers with their amazing stories. I seriously enjoyed this. While quickly writing this, I’m grinning like a fool. Review enough?
Thanks for acting like you’re paying attention.
All quotes pulled from the novel, and included bonus content.
Excelsior.

"All right, Remy,” I say, opening the door.
“Remy,” he shoots back. “Jesus, you can’t even remember my name? The sewers weren’t kind to you, were they?”
“Wait—what?” I ask, shutting the door, locking it. He just looks exasperated, which just makes me confused.
“You called me Ruby,” Remy said, indignantly.
Let's just say I did some major fangirling while reading this.
