was interesting to hear from adam’s perspective, especially his observations of juliette, rather than just hearing what’s going on inside her mind. i adore adam’s love for james (and i adore james). i feel for his conflict but i’ve kind of turned on adam now, kenji however i love sm and hope the next novella is from his perspective!

My respect for Adam is out the window. The day before he would have put his life on the line for Juliette and now he’s questioning if she’s worth dying for smh 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not that the book is bad I just dislike Adam

The  first 3/4 of this book was so boring to me since so much of it is scenes from Unravel Me with the same exact dialogue  only with the addition of Adam’s thoughts. 

It seems that the author decided to make Adam super condescending and ignorant which I expected because now Warner is the main love interest but the extent to which the author made Adam unlikable was a bit overdone and out-of-character for him. The only good thing about Adam in this book was his love for James.
