I figure since I already have this "preview," I might as well write a review for Addie Kent's novella.
AND LET ME TELL YOU, ADDIE SURPRISED ME SO SO MUCH. MY NOT-SO-POSITIVE OPINIONS ABOUT HIM HAVE, dare I say it, CHANGED.
When I thought I couldn't dislike him more than I did, after reading Fracture Me, Addie Kent proved me wrong. End of review.

Let this be about Kenji. Please. (Since I don't think it will be about my favorite sexy blond man, Warner)
To Adam fans

For some reason I thought Fracture Me would sway me (a little) to Team Adam but no such luck. Every time Kenji and Adam talked about Warner in front of Juliette she seemed generally interested in the conversation while she was practically comatose the rest of the time.
King Warner is slaying even when he's not there!

„Shit. This is even worse than I was expecting.“
Yes, that’s an actual quote from “Fracture me” and damn me if this wasn’t an adequate summary for the entire novella! *lol*
Give Adam a chance.
I thought.
Maybe he isn’t all that bad.
I was convinced.
Probably I misunderstood him the same way everyone misunderstood Warner at first.
I kind of hoped.
… And then I read “Fracture me”.

This novella for me is a revelation. It’s also a foreshadowing. It surprises me both in good and sad way. I’m very much vocal of my adoration towards Warner but I don’t have that much hate on Adam. I liked him just fine. The reason why I don’t prefer him is that he’s sort of bland. He doesn’t have much character and something’s telling me that he wasn’t the right guy for Juliette. Then Destroy Me and Unravel Me came that showed things that support my theory. But Fracture Me, ironically, which

My heart is fractured,
broken,
shattered,
in pieces,
for Adam.
Maybe I shouldn’t feel this way. Maybe he deserves it. He was an ass for most of the novella but, nevertheless, I cannot forget how good he once was for Juliette and how he obviously still cares for her.
I still want a future with her. I want to know that one day we’ll be able to settle somewhere safe and be together in peace. I’m not ready to give up on that dream yet. I’m not ready to give up on us.
There’s one thing that I don’t like ...more

UPDATE: SAY IT ISN'T SO! Adam's perspective? Really? Why in the world would you give Adam his own novella when you have WARNER (Warner!) whom you could write about. I mean, it's WARNER! Such a complex, tortured anti-hero. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Even Kenji would have been better than Adam.
UPDATE NOW THAT I'VE READ IT: I don't know how you could want Juliette to end up with Adam after reading this. Just as Destroy Me showed me who Warner really is, Fracture Me has revealed ...more

(Psst, hey you. THIS BOOK'S FROM ADAM'S POINT OF VIEW.)
..........................don't read it.*cough* sorry, what was that?
Here's the thing. We've already got a few hundred pages of Adam's BS and me tearing my hair out at this point.
I swear, all that's in his mind is just:
Adam+gun=I CAN PROTECT JULIETTE.
Well, my dear asshole Adam, my amazing plan is:
You+Juliette=EVERYBODY DIE NOW.
Or we can put it the simple way:
Adam+book=DON'T READ IT.
Here's to a peaceful world, guys. :)

Yeah, this was boring. I've not got much else to say really. I knew I wasn't going to enjoy it but mainly read it for the details. It gave us a bit of an insight into Adam but it was no think like Warner's because it just confirmed everything we already knew.
Feb 2013 - I really, really, really want this to be Kenji's story or Warner again but I'm pretty sure it's going to be Adam :( I don't dislike Adam, I just find him a little boring!

Weird how things can change in very short periods of time! At the beginning of this series, there were Adam and Juliette, and I couldn’t imagine anything else. Then came Destroy Me, Warner’s novella that showed a whole new side of him, and (to my own surprise) I started thinking he might be a better choice for her after all. But my heart was breaking for poor Adam. I saw him as a nice and honest – if somewhat plain – boy, not strong enough and certainly not insightful enough to fully understand

Shit! This novella synopsis sounds intense. Fuuuuuuck! I'm so worried...and still torn between Adam and Warner. Love them both. Why cant Juliette have both? Ugh! I'm so nervous to read this and Ignite Me. But oh so fucking anxious. I need them both NOW!!!!

I like that Adam cares more for James than Juliette. Adam and Juliette are toxic together anyway. Also it's realistic that he cares more for his little brother who's been with him his whole life than a girl he met only a few months ago.
I'm not giving this a low rating because of Adam being an asshole because it's so obvious he's being set up to fail as a love interest. I'm just going to go along with his stick up his ass attitude.

I liked this novella because it made me understand Adam better.
And it made me realize that he is definitely NOT the right man for Juliette. She needs someone who can actually accept her for what she is, who doesn't have to fear her in any way, and Adam is not it. He "loves" her, in his own way, but he doesn't understand her - he loves the idea of her, but she's so much more than that and I don't think he would love the Real ...more

After reading: I don't know how to talk about this because I'm more confused than ever. Just when I decided that it has to be Warner who'll end up with Juliette, Mafi had to confuse me some more by throwing 'Fracture Me' in my face, and I'm once again stuck in the dilemma. But of course I'm still rooting for Warner and this has given me hope that he might just escape the fate with Juliette. I'm so glad I read it, because now I can take a sigh of relief, there might still be hope.
For me.

Update: (March 2018) I enjoyed this so much more the second time around. I feel like this second read through of the series has helped me understand Adam so much more. I don’t always agree with the choices he makes, but I understand where he’s coming from and I appreciate him more for it

BEWARE THIS REVIEW HAS A LOT OF SPOILERS!!!
My thoughts on this book are a matter of opinion. So if you're team Adam don't hate me. *Gives you cookies and Milk
For the shorter version this book has managed to:
A. Convince me that Adam is hiding something. Something we'll probably find out in Ignite Me.
B. Confirm my belief that Juliette and Warner will be end game.
C. That Kenji is, in fact-AWESOME.
D. That Adam is not the bird. This is just a crackpot theory and I know he has the bird on his chest. ...more

So, Adam is super lame, and now we have proof. Honestly, it was so blatantly obvious that he would make a horrible partner for Juliette, that I really cant see any way that Mafi can justify them being together now. There is no way that it can happen. I never really liked Adam. He was ok in book 1 because I thought he was gonna be it, and I just went with it, but I never really loved the idea.

Fracture Me is a clearly transparent attempt to shove stragglers to Team Warner.
How dare he care about his brother more than his girlfriend? How dare he long for a few minutes of peace instead of charging off ass over teakettle to save Juliette?
The playing field is skewed towards Warner, let's get that in the open. He doesn't have anyone left to care about, but Adam does.
Is that what we want, ladies? Boys with no ambition but to serve? If it is, take off your pink sweater and throw your gender ...more

I can't deal with this boring cow. Adam is one of the worst male YA characters, and he has some hard competition, you know?
So, you like Adam? Ok, fine. I just don't get why. But wahatever. Did anyone really cared about this short story? Is anyone remotely interesting in this pathetic asshole? I'm not, like, at all.

God, I love Warner so much. The last novella practically tore me to pieces. His character was written so well and I can't help but want more of him.

-What a manipulative novella. The only reason this was written was so readers would dislike Adam and switch to Team Psycho-Warner. In Shatter Me and Unravel Me Adam was crazy in love with Juliette, he risked his life for her and would have done anything for her. Yet in this, Adam didn't give a fuck about Juliette, he didn't even care that her life was at risk. Where did that come from? How did Adam's character become so inconsistent?

We have a title for the book. It's entitled Fracture Me.
My thoughts on the title, as seen in aaron-warner.tumblr.com:
I find the title rather interesting though. But what concerns me here is that it…just doesn’t feel right. Like there’s Shatter Me, Unravel Me, Ignite Me, Destroy Me then Fracture Me. Maybe it’s because the word sounds longer than the others. I mean, it’s all about breaking and cracking so I don’t see any problems in the titles-are-connected area.
