this book is literally perfection. im a little biased, sue me, but i had a wonderful time and that’s really what matters <3

buddy read with my lovely lovely beautiful girl roro, this was so so fun ily 🥹💓

is it possible to love a book even more the second time around!?! bc that might be the case for me..

last year me and my friend did a book swap of our favourites, she gave me this and I gave her binding 13 (which is amazing btw go read it rn 🙈) and we both said we’d try to finish our books in a week. ONE WEEK ‼️ and so I flew through this series and whilst I had an amazing time I just kind of rushed it all yk!!? and I missed small details that im glad I could pick up this time 🤭🤭☝🏼

the writing

➵ the writing style is a little controversial icl like for example this:

I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane. I am not insane.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
not even gonna comment on that bc it is too funny HAHAHAH. in my opinion I kinda loved it 😅

➵ NGL THOUGH THE AMOUNT OF STRIKETHROUGHS IN THIS BOOK HAD ME FEELING LIKE I WAS READING A GR RANT REVIEW BC WHAT WAS THAT LMAOOO
tahereh is so funny I can’t bc she ate with this book idc 😌

characterssss

LETS START WITH THE STAR OF THE SHOW 🤭 WARNER
➵ honestly in my eyes he can do no wrong 🤐 like the only part that irked me was the gaslighting continuously ok so he can do some wrong shut up he’s still perfect

he was always making her out to be some monster bc of this power she has and ok while she’s a complete and total weirdo for “enjoying the power” that doesn’t make her sick and evil wait actually it kinda does 😀 ok i take it back he can do no wrong

how can anyone hate him after he says things like this:

🌹 “you’re absolutely delicious when you’re angry” 🌹

🌹 “if any of you hurt her, I’ll shoot you myself” 🌹

🌹 “only my dead body would allow her to walk through that door” 🌹

like okay warner so when is our wedding 🤭🤭💍💍👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼
seriously you can’t hate the man you just CANT 😤

I think I got carried away with warner so let’s move on to… adam I guess 🙄
➵ no but like jokes aside he’s really not that bad 😭 in the later books he sucks but rn he’s just existing for me 🤷‍♀️

➵ not him saying “she belongs with me” who are you bro, taylor swift?? 🤨 who you lying to?!? bro is so deluluuu. she belongs with warner 🤭 once he gets his shit together and stops being a villain like BRUH WE WANNA SEE THE GREEN FLAGS TOOO

➵ hmm what else to say.. no I think that’s it. let’s move on 😆

KENJI KISHIMOTOOOOOO 🙈🙈🙈💓💓💓🥹🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼
➵ my bsf has placed all her claim on that man BUT IM STILL ALLOWED TO LOVE HIM OK 😤

➵ wowowowowowowow he’s just perfect idk what to say🥹 this book was not centred around him UNFORTUNATELY 😒 but im so ready for him to carry in defy me (is that the next book I don’t really remember the names they sound too alike)

➵ he’s just so funny and incredible and perfect in every single way lowkey if i was juliette I would’ve gone for him (obviously warnette 4 life but he’s not available rn so GO FOR KENJI NOT KENT 🤧)

and now, juliette 💝💝
➵ HONESTLY WE CANT GET MAD AT HER FOR THE “I am not insane” THING BC IF I WAS LOCKED UP FOR THAT LONG I’D GO A LITTLE NUTS TOO

➵ she’s such a baddie thoughhh 🤭🤭 like slay queen bc if I had warner desperate for me like that I would never let go

BONUS MENTION FOR JAMES HE WAS SO ADORABLE AND SMART FOR SUCH A YOUNG BOY🥹🥹💓💓 I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM IN THE REST OF THE BOOKS 😌☝🏼

to concludeee…

➵ if you couldn’t tell already I love this book 😁😁
it has it’s imperfections but you fall in love with the characters so much that it doesn’t even matter.

➵ if this review didn’t convince you to go read this ASAP then im sorry for disappointing
I TRIED OKAY✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼

happy reading my loves~
im gonna go sob for the rest of my life 🤧
