 “Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.”

Uhm... this book feels very insta-lovey, I mean the whole series does to be honest. There were a few twists that I wasn't expecting though, which was nice. I just feel like not much was going on in this book? I mean I think it was more about setting up Warner and Juliette and Adam. Kenji is still the best character though.

this was so amazing. tahereh’s writing is poetic but not hard to read. i want to highlight half of the words. will definitely be going back one day to annotate this. i knew i was in for a rollercoaster when i was crying less than 100 pages in. emotional wreckage.

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.
