I am starting to like Aaron! I am very scared to bc I am not liking this whole Reestablishment business but he's a misguided sweetheart. I hope we get him out of there in the future!

This book really opened up my eyes to the lovely world of Aaron Warner. I especially loved the little moments that explained his routines and habits, something I always enjoy in books! I felt so emotional throughout this book and just experiencing the pain he was feeling was really relatable and heart aching. In chapter 16 where he

sets up a simulation, creates a duplication of himself and then simply makes his copy shoot him

, made me so so emotional. After 'Shatter Me', I still wasn't sold on this whole Aaron Warner Thing but after this short novella, I feel for him so deeply and am really interested to see where his plot line takes him. We're able to see that his infatuation with Juliette is something a lot deeper and personal, him

reading her journal was so interesting to see

  and really allowed me to fall in love with Juliette in a new way as well. I really did like this book and I am now slightly amused to admit that I do see the whole Aaron Warner Thing and I also love him as deeply as any other reader.
