Hade nog gett större intryck om jag hade läst böckerna i kronologisk ordning, men den var ändå spännande.

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.

2.0

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.
