I’ve been here before, I tell myself. I’ve been lonelier than this, more hopeless than this, more desperate than this. I’ve been here before and I survived. I can get through this. was better, i guess. i’m not going to give it 5 stars because the writing is drastically better than the first book but still shit compared to literally any other book.

I love him so much. He would make an INCREDIBLE best friend. I envy Juliette more and more (mainly because of Warner, but because of Kenji too). And he is hilarious. Just look: There are some incredibly good quotes in this book, and I love how the writing subsides with the metaphors because Juliette isn't entirely crazy anymore. I wish I could create amazing quotes like these 🥲 Now writing wise I do live Tahereh and I still to this day love the crossing out technique she used in her first book and just because she made Juliette a character that I really really like. I have no one to impress,” he says. “No one who cares about what happens to me. I’m not in the business of making friends, love. My job is to lead an army, and it’s the only thing I’m good at. No one,” he says, “would be proud of the things I’ve accomplished. My mother doesn’t even know me anymore. My father thinks I’m weak and pathetic. My soldiers want me dead. The world is going to hell. And the conversations I have with you are the longest I’ve ever had.” Warning! There will be spoilers. I won't hold my tongue for anyone. I want to be free to express my thoughts since I can't explain how much my life is ruined by fictional character to my family or friends. So if you don't want to know about which guy Juliette chose in the end, shoo!Aaron keeps pushing Juliette to be comfortable in her skin and understand that her power doesn’t make her something evil or something that everyone should hate and Good morning,” I assume. I’m unsure of my voice, of the hour and this day, of these words leaving my lips and this body that contains me. Thank you,” he whispers. “For being my friend.” I turn around then. “I will always be here if you need me,” I say, the darkness catching and hushing my voice. “Please remember that. Always remember that." A couple of weeks ago I had a conversation with one of my friends. We were discussing our exes and she said she would never like her ex now because she grew up and changed a lot. She doesn't want to cuddle a guy who's too insecure about himself and them in general. She was right. So many relationships fell apart not because people stop loving each other but because they changed. And that's the main reason I knew Adam and Juliette would never work. He would never get used to Juliette's powers, her desire to be free and to want more from life just like she doesn't want to be 'all' he wants.

He tried to make Juliette feel guilty about what happened at the end of Unravel Me, when it wasn't even her fault. I think. I remember nothing about Unravel Me, so don't take my word for it.

i'll keep this short. but turning adam into an asshole was probably the cheapest move on the part of this author. it would have been so much more satisfying for adam to idk tragically fall on a knife, or accept that jellyjam has a new man or just be really sad idk. but to make him hateable was such a cop out. how an author handles the choice at the end of a love triangle really says a lot about their writing. and making adam into some incel asshole was just cheap. unsurprising, but cheap. WTF was with Warner constantly calling Juliette love and dear, it made him sound like a cross between an old grandma and a pretentious git. Oh, I mean it,” Adam says. “I really, really mean it.” He finally looks at me. Fists clenched. “Thinking you were dead,” he says to me, “was so much better. It hurt so much less than this.” Let's set the scene: Warner's working out and Juliette is trying not to be attracted to him (impossible)

I can say thing with certainty- Aaron Warner is the best male character in whole bookdom. Move over Mr.Darcy, Jace, Dimitri, Will, Adrian, Eric, Barrons and all others. You can't fight me on this because there's just no way anyone has all the qualities for the sexiest man ever. He's Juliette's bird for God's sake! If you still want to comment about some other dude, please do, I'll just laugh his peasant ass off.

but that’s really it? imo it was 100% valid. i would say WAY worse to juliette. words hurt, yeah, but did she not have it coming? if my girlfriend got with the guy that made my and everyone else’s lives ACTUAL HELL, i would lose it, are you kidding?? this is a CALL OUT to everyone that loves these books. because i know what you are. you're just horny. because there was um no plot to this book and it astonishes me that this was published. first we have wakadoodle "hell's empty and the devil is in my pants" warner. besides his problematic past i was willing to open myself up to loving him. we like a redeemable main character but he turned out to be not so likable. let me count the ways and regale you with some quotes: Juliette wasn't happy that Warner read her journal and was generally a creepy monster… Well, Warner admitted that he was a selfish douche so naturally him admitting that made all his previous douchey, pervyness a-okay.

God, the choke hold Warner has on me. He's so much better than Adam. He's supportive of Juliette, he loves her and cares No,” I say. “No. No. Don’t be stupid,” I say to him. “Don’t be ridiculous,” I say to him. “Don’t lie to me goddamn you,” but now my voice is high and broken and shaking and “No,” I gasp, “no, no, no—” But never have I been so thoroughly robbed. Love and possibility, friendships and futures: gone. I have to start over now; face the world alone again. I have to make one final choice: give up or go on. It just gets really heavy sometimes.” He looks away. “Too heavy. Even for me. And some days I don’t want to laugh,” he says. “I don’t want to be funny. I don’t want to give a shit about anything. Some days I just want to sit on my ass and cry. All day long.” His hands stop moving against the mats. “Is that crazy?” he asks quietly, still not meeting my gaze. Why couldn't Adam stay as he was instead of being so threatening and abusive?? Why did his character have to be assassinated just so Warner could look good and he could look like a scumbag in comparison?! Why did the author have to resort to such contrived, lazy, pathetic, poorly written bullshit?! Why couldn't she trust readers to make up their own mind about Adam and Warner instead of spoon feeding us rubbish and trying to force us to feel a certain way?! Ugh, I'm so pissed.

Wild. Fantastic. Made my heart pound. Gave me chills. Literally in the first chapters we got plot twist after plot twist, and I was so confused, because SO MUCH STUFF WAS JUST BEING ADMITTED and I was freaking out! But a lot happened, with Juliette reeling from what happened in Unravel Me, and she didn't know if her friends were all dead and all that jazz. But just wow, I'm so hyped for the next books. (let's not talk about how I forgot everything that happens in Unravel Me except for a Warnette kiss heheh...) He smiles. He stares until I’m blushing and I decide I hate him a little and then he shakes his head. Looks into his palms. “No,” he says. “The girls took care of that. I just carried you to bed.”
