Plus being trapped in something she longs to escape from. Great point! <br /><br />The writing...I just love it. I look forward to your review on this one.

I think it was probably written to soften us up to Warner. I'm not sure I want to be softened to him. It's been a year and I'm still angry at him.

But I haven't read it either, so I really comment on it.

And maybe it is just me, but Juliette kind of reminds me of Quintana. All broken and abused.<br /><br />I loved this book too. Totally lived up to the hype. And, as of now, I am rooting for Adam and Juliette for sure. BUT. I would be a liar if I didn't say that Warner doesn't intrigue me. I haven't read Destroy Me yet (need to) but I'm sure after doing that I'm going to be even more into Warner. I think I'm going to be a little torn. Even when I know one is better than the other, and even when I know that there is wrong choice and a right choice, I can't help it. Sometimes the bad boy wins me over in the end:) We shall see...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-1631066013960329562012-10-16T22:11:53.655-04:002012-10-16T22:11:53.655-04:00Actually yes!

But, as you said, I do think the language can also be a bit of a distraction from other aspects. I haven't read the Destroy Me novella from Warner's POV and I'm not sure if I'm aware of the Unravel Me love triangle buzz. I really hope Mafi doesn't take the love triangle route either. It's fine for Warner to like Juliette but I for one would need a ton of convincing as to how Juliette would suddenly start to like Warner. I guess we'll find out soon enough.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-15909498355977880522012-10-16T20:36:39.769-04:002012-10-16T20:36:39.769-04:00I know I read your review, but I can't remembe...I know I read your review, but I can't remember why you didn't like this book. It does have some issues with world building, and I know that's something that is important to you. Perhaps you had trouble with that? And I'm not sure what to say if you didn't like the language. I've found people either love it, or it irritates them greatly. How far did you get in this? Because I'm also curious to see how you liked the direction of the end. Readers had differing opinions of that as well. I think this is a book that I just LOVED irrationally. And nothing will change that. HOWEVER, I'm VERY nervous about the sequel. But I don't know when I'll get a chance to read it.

Thank you for being my emotional support through this trying time ;). <br /><br />And I agree with everything you said about Warner. Fantastic VILLAIN. NOT a love interest. I DO love that you gave him a number. I want to know #1 and 2. Does anyone from Knife make that list?

It seems too good to have DNFed and for a book to earn this much love from you definitely means a looot. Wonderful review, Lauren! I hope you enjoy the sequel just as much, despite the love triangle!

I am shunning the novella until further notice because he is such a creeptastic person. I'm serious. He makes my SKIN CRAWL. He's my #3 Villain ever. (Yep, that's right, I just presented a number. You love it.)Asheley T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03908795522290889438noreply@blogger.com
