This book strongly reminded my of SJM’s a court of frost and starlight. And that’s really not a compliment, as that was a six hour book about characters buying Christmas presents. And somehow, that was a better book than this one because at least they were done with saving the world at the time.
So in this book we follow Warner, who is really upset with every other character because they don’t agree that the world should revolve around him. He thinks everybody should drop whatever they are doing and help him get married because, you see, he don’t care about anyone else in the world except himself and Juliette. Who cares if people are starving? He needs all hand on deck to sow a weeding dress for his “love”. He demonstrates how important this is to him by being mean and degrading to everyone he meets, and shutting down all their efforts to be kind to him or to compromise. And this Juliette sees as Warner being to kind to everyone and they are bullying him because omg it’s so hard for him to feel everyone’s horny feelings for him all the time so he’s justified in being an asshole.
Also this book was written purely because people wanted to read about their weeding. Which started just as the book ended. So… what’s the point?

An admittedly unnecessary, but very steamy, novella installment in the Shatter Me series. If you're someone who likes HEA wrapped up in a bow, I would recommend this. I personally enjoyed this because I'm a huge fan of this series. Taking place in the hours leading up to the wedding from Warner's POV, we see Warner grappling with his generalized anxiety and how the other character feel about him because of the hard exterior he chooses to show everyone but Juliette, and learning how to relate to other people when it was the last thing he wanted to do. I especially enjoy the novellas from Warner's perspective because he's such a relatable character when you're inside his head despite how he comes off on the outside. You can tell how much Juliette cares for him in the novels from her perspective, but to see her show him all she wants for their future from Warner's perspective was especially touching❤️ I’m so sad this series is done.
