I’m changing my review so that it’s actually coherent and not just negative with no reasons given for my negativity. It’s been a long time since I read this now. But I remember being really annoyed because it was a catchy book and I couldn’t put it down but at the same time I REALLY wanted to put it down and just be free from it. I didn’t like it, it was cliché and tropey and annoying and the main character was a total “not like other girls” situation and only became beautiful once some guy told her she was. The plot devices were too obvious and convenient. It was not in a satisfying way at all. Overall I don’t recommend this book but I did get through it. ( ) This book moves fast. It is action packed with a heavy side of romance. I enjoy the way the story is told through Juliette perspective. The thoughts she is thinking before or after her Dialog crossed through so you know they are thoughts. That was a great way to streamline her fast thinking without a lot of extra explanation sentences attached. The story starts and just keeps you on going. I couldn't put this down once I started it. Juliette is so broken yet lovable. Adam, well who wouldn't love a guy like Adam (I really want them to get some time alone). Kenji added some great comic relief. Warner is a great twisted sadistic bad guy. It was full of tender, heart wrenching and wow moments. You got a sense of the world they were in but it didn't seem forced down your throat. You learned about the new world as Juliette did after being locked away for three years. The things she remembers the new things that have changed. This was a great opening book in a trilogy. no reviews | add a review
