An admittedly unnecessary, but very steamy, novella installment in the Shatter Me series. If you're someone who likes HEA wrapped up in a bow, I would recommend this. I personally enjoyed this because I'm a huge fan of this series. Taking place in the hours leading up to the wedding from Warner's POV, we see Warner grappling with his generalized anxiety and how the other character feel about him because of the hard exterior he chooses to show everyone but Juliette, and learning how to relate to other people when it was the last thing he wanted to do. I especially enjoy the novellas from Warner's perspective because he's such a relatable character when you're inside his head despite how he comes off on the outside. You can tell how much Juliette cares for him in the novels from her perspective, but to see her show him all she wants for their future from Warner's perspective was especially touching❤️ I’m so sad this series is done.
