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. ( )

It wasn't a bad read but kind of predictable in some elements and so it took me a bit long to finish reading. However what I consider a plot twist is what got me through it and on to the second book, I am interested in where the author Takes Juliette, Adam, Kenji and Warner. ( )

I've read the first 7 chapters or so and I just cannot get into this book right now. Maybe I haven't given it enough of a chance, so I will let it sit for a while and pick it up again later.

Interesting. I wish I could shake the X-Men vibes and stop comparing Juliet to Rogue. ( )

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. ( )

Epigraph
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.
--Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken"
Dedication
For my parents, and for my husband,
because when I said I wanted to touch the moon
you took my hand, held me close,
and taught me how to fly.
First words
I’ve been locked up for 264 days.
