I read it in a day! I just couldn’t put this book down. I will admit part of that reason is because I saw on Tiktok that so many people are Warner end game but Adam treats her SO much better. So I know there has to be a reason why everyone likes him more, unfortunately you don’t find anything out in the first book so maybe in the second one🤞🏽. Besides that, the plot is easy to follow and keeps you engaged, wanting to know what will happen next. Where Juliette’s story will lead, My favorite character is Kenji, he is so hilarious. I recommend reading this book! “You never asked for anything from anyone…But no one ever gave you a chance.”

A good read. Slow at the start but you can tell it is to set up the plot. Kaz is so badass. Definitely reading book 2 as the cliffhanger is unbearable. “Because our crime is existing. Our crime is what we are.”

5.0

Oh God, this book was devastatingly beautiful. It broke my heart and made it feel full at the same time. The writing? 10/10. There’s so much more meaning in this book that wasn’t written on the pages. Officially my favorite book I ever read. Please read it, you won’t regret. “I wanted to cry because I didn’t understand how a world so beautiful could also harbor so much pain”.

Honest opinion? I am not a fan of the writing. It’s unorganized and doesn’t flow well. The plot is boring and nonexistent for 3/4 of the book. Around page 300 is when it peaked my interest. Not horrible, but wouldn’t recommend. “She was the instrument of his death, but not the cause.”

Couldn’t stop myself from smiling the whole time while reading this book. I full heartedly love reading every second of it and found myself able to relate 100% to the main character. The slow burn is there but their love is genuine. “I love you too, Alex Blackwood, she says, and it’s all the things I never knew an I love you could be, meeting me exactly as I am, without a single condition.”

An adult love story written so beautifully. Two people who are healing from their trauma come together to heal each other. It’s cheesy, but the love in this book will make your heart smile. “She carried the guilt of not fighting when she thought she should have, and I carried the scar of what happened when you did.”
