All three stars are for the Warner content. The rest was overly emotional, and Juliette, albeit upset good reasons, can be kind of insufferable in the beginning. The first half is slow, but once the plot actually starts it's a good read. It's another one to get through in order to get to the next books.

Big improvement on the first book for me. The non-romance plot was more focused, the romance plot actually gave us reasons to root for Warner, or at the very least empathise with him (and it wasn't the dumb dog bit), and it didn't even have to make Adam into a bad guy to do it. Juliette figures out that love can't magically fix everything wrong with her life and that she is capable of being a complete person without needing Adam to be her emotional crutch. 

I will say that some of the writing gets a little bit cringey, but it's improved. We aren't subjected to classic lines like Shatter Me's "my dreams are bloody and bleeding and blood is bleeding".

A strong sequel to the first book. I liked that it wasn’t all smooth sailing and not everybody instantly loves Juliet which is a refreshing change from the genre. Adam and Warner are two sides of the same coin and so interesting to see the push and pull between them and Juliet. I like that Warner isn’t completely redeemed in this book because he’s got so many twisted layers & im still trying to puzzle him out. I hope the next book doesn’t make Juliet do a complete 180 though and lose all her friends!
