Vaughn | 3843 comments They got to his brother, now they have to run again. I kinda glad that he had another reason for the things he's doing. He's doing this for his brother too. Hate to think he was stalkish . Lol

It broke my heart to hear about his little brother living on his own waiting on Adam to return.

Vaughn | 3843 comments It's crazy

The next one is.

Vaughn | 3843 comments Cool. I'll try to remember to get it tomorrow. Still reading this one. Interesting how Warner missed that touch.

Lol. I love Adams brother. It's crazy the world they live in....Not destroyed by war but just by people doing their everyday things and not caring.

I had forgotten about that! I wonder why he can touch her?

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
I forgot about that, too. I don't know why but I wish that Warner couldn't touch her. How crazy is the food?


message 63: by [deleted user] (new)

The food is outrageous. They are starving the population and keeping everything for themselves. I also wish Warner couldn't touch her. It just seems wrong.

Exactly!

Don't they know they can rule the world without destroying everyone and everything they rule over. Pretty soon all they are going to have is a bunch of abandoned cities.

They are only concerned with totally domination no matter the cost.

Vaughn | 3843 comments Done..that was very good. Glad she found others like her. Ish. Not certain I trust the omegas yet though. Still have to grab the second book.

Yes, do that.

message 74: by [deleted user] (new)

I see what you mean about not trusting the omegas. I am kinda suspicious.


message 75: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod
The Omegas are definitely interesting. Not sure how I feel about them.


message 76: by Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️ (new)

Leigh | 18513 comments Mod

I can't imagine what it would be like to never be touched. Having to live with the fear that you can kill someone with your touch. Everyone is afraid of you because you killed a child. I wouldn't want to be Juilette. What is Adam working on? Why do they have them separated? Kenji is funny. I like him.

It would be horrible, but right now Juliette needs to stop feeling sorry for herself and get it together. Why won't Adam tell her anything?? I like Kenji, too...And the twins.

Yah, I think she is losing it because it is starting to feel like she is a prisoner. Hopefully she can let go and start to trust the people around her. The twins are cool.


message 82: by [deleted user] (new)

Kenji is one of my favorites. He tells it to her straight. And you are right Sheri. Juliette needs to pull it together. She is overreacting a bit to her problems.


message 83: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh and the twins are pretty great. I hope she gets to know them a bit better

I agree Juliette needs to start looking outside of herself and not dwell on the bad stuff. What is up with Castle? Why doesn't he or Adam tell Juliette what is going on?


message 85: by [deleted user] (new)

That is true. What could possibly be that bad?


message 86: by Vaughn (new)

Vaughn | 3843 comments I'm in chapter 5 I think. I just want to slap Juliette.


message 87: by [deleted user] (new)

I see what you mean.

I feel so sorry for Adam. (view spoiler) At least Juliette has finally come out of her shell. Everything just went to crap. Holy Crap!

Here are so quotes:

“The man is moody as hell.”

“I am not moody—”

“Yeah, bro.” Kenji puts his utensils down. “You are moody. It’s always ‘Shut up, Kenji.’ ‘Go to sleep, Kenji.’ ‘No one wants to see you naked, Kenji.’ When I know for a fact that there are thousands of people who would love to see me naked—”
― Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me

That is so Kenji! It makes me smile.


“Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me

This one makes me sad. This aptly describes Juliette life before Adam and her new friends.

“Loneliness is a strange sort of thing.
It creeps on you, quiet and still, sits by your side in the dark, strokes by your hair as you sleep. It wraps itself around your bones, squeezing so tight you almost can't breathe. It leaves lies in your heart, lies next to you at night, leaches the light out of every corner. It's a constant companion, clasping your hand only to yank you down when you're struggling to stand up.
You wake up in the morning and wonder who you are. You fail to fall asleep at night and tremble in your skin. You doubt you doubt you doubt.
do I
don't I
should I
why won't I
And even when you're ready to let go. When you're ready to break free. When you're ready to be brand-new. Loneliness is an old friend stand beside you in the mirror, looking you in the eye, challenging you to live your life without it. You can't find the words to fight yourself, to fight the words screaming that you're not enough never enough never ever enough.
Loneliness is a bitter, wretched companion.
Sometimes it just won't let go.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me

Holy Crap! A lot happened in this one. Some stuff quite surprising. What an ending!


message 91: by [deleted user] (new)

Right! So much is happening. I am on the last chapter.


message 92: by [deleted user] (new)

I finished. Wow.


message 93: by [deleted user] (new)

“On the darkest days you have to search for a spot of brightness, on the coldest days you have to seek out a spot of warmth; on the bleakest days you have to keep your eyes onward and upward and on the saddest days you have to leave them open to let them cry. To then let them dry. To give them a chance to wash out the pain in order to see fresh and clear once again.”

I liked that she started working with Kinji. She learned more about her gift.
