I don't know how I felt about this book. I liked the flashbacks from Ella to Juliette and how that changed her behaviour. I don't understand why Emmaline wasn't talked about enough? After Oceania she wasn't spoken about again. I would've liked to see more interactions between Adam + James and Kenji + Nazeera. I also don't fully understand why Aaron was still rude to everyone even though he has good relationships with most of them and doesn't have any reason to dislike them. All of the interactions between Juliette and Anderson made me so uncomfortable, especially because she found him attractive. Overall, I sort of struggled to get through it around the mid way point. However, "come back to me, love" killed me.

Most of the story was a bit confusing and I wasn't really sure what was happening, but overall it was really good. The last page was my favourite out of the whole book!

This felt like the last hundred pages of a book when there is the final fight, which it was, of course.
It was a good ending to the series but the tension was beginning to wear of before everything ended. Therefor it was nice, but nothing special. 
<spoiler >There were some things I wondered about when I started reading the series which didn't come up anywhere, e. g. what about periods? What about sexual protection and stuff?

I read this book some weeks ago and can't remember all the tws I wanted to put but one should definitely check the tws in the description of the book.

*No spoilers*

This is by far my favorite book in the shatter me series, it took me a bit longer to read than normal but only because I didn't want the series to end (I still have to read the Believe me novella after this but it's not the same as a full book), over time I completely fell in love with every character in the series and cried because it is now over. They will forever hold a place in my heart and there is nothing I could say to convince you to read this series because I've never experienced books like these before. It is popular for a reason, please read this series.
