To start this off, I absolutely loved this book, it's now one of my favorites ever. I’ve read the

entire shatter me series and this is by far my favorite. It continues the story of Juliette and her

journey to take down The Reestablishment. Warner is my favorite book boy out of any book I’ve

ever read. She now has to rely on him, someone she never thought she’d even like to begin

with. Along with simply such an interesting plot, the romance in this book is just to die for.
