why is there no content warning for adam?
this book made me so angry. i hate adam. I HATE ADAM. 

“she’s not strong enough to be on the battlefield.” SORRY WHAT. she literally shatters the earth when she touches the ground and kills people when she touches them. what right does adam think he have to protect her like she’s some kind of fragile animal. and also?
“I love Juliette. I really do. I want to help her and support her and be there for her. I want us to have a future together. But sometimes I wonder if it's ever going to happen. This isn't easy to admit, but part of me doesn't want to put James at risk again-on the run again--for a girl who broke up with me. A girl who walked away from us.”
HE DOESNT WANT TO SAVE HER BECAUSE SHE BROKE UP WITH HIM? WHO DOES THAT?

anyway i could keep ranting but you can just read this book and find out for yourself for the low low price of 1 hour of your life.

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.
