This is intense, as far as the story progresses. I truly admire Juliette/Ella as she unleashes herself more. The hard shell of Warner as his emotion continues to make him weak in a an unfamiliar way. 
This book dwells more on unravelling their lives to which I found very interesting and I really don't have any idea what to expect next. So let's go on to the next book! 👏🏻

What a blast! This book is burning! Ignite! It litearlly speaks its title. I am very much engrossed of the character developments from Juliette, Warner and Adam. I love how Juliette manages to control her being without really relying on someone. Warner's pure intention despite being a hard shell outside. And Adam's emotional needs. I can not hate them, but love them more in each page. On to the next! 👏🏻

I don't know what to feel! Haha honestly, it was written sadly. When I thought she will be free at last, turned out she found herself trapped again. But I love the descriptive way the unravelling took place or happened. T'was a mixture of prose and poetry, ngl. On to the next! 👏🏻

Started reading today and since it's a novella, just a short read, I finished it. This read is very emotional, unexpectedly. A medium-paced P.O.V of Warner whom I found interesting enough to be likened. Trully a villain I wanna slay but with his thought I realized he too was trapped and I'm eager to know more about him and his unrequited love for Juliette and everything in between. Such a great read! On to the next! 👏🏻

1st book of November and I love it! I am immediately attached to Juliette! This book has a brilliant writing too. Been highlighting passages that are wonderfully written just to keep it in record. Haha. Plus it being fast-paced makes it a page turner. On to the next book 🤭

A fun and easy read and my first book from this author. It wasn't that emotionally-filled for me but I found a lot of new vocab from this novel and that is promising. Would like to read more from her. 🤭
