Jesus H Christ. I genuinely don't understand how this and the first book were written by the same person. Like the first book was fine but THIS. Lordy. I adored this book. Warner is my favorite as resident lover and pyscho but, Kenji is a verryyy close second as probably one of the only people who doesn't handle Juliette with kid gloves. I am so excited for the next books for real.

the build-up and first half of the book were really slow and boring, but it shifted fast. even though it kept me on edge at times, the beginning is the reason i think this book is a downgrade from shatter me. BUT HAVE U SEEN AARON WARNER!!!!!! THE MAN OF EVERYONE'S DREAMS
