I personally prefer Warner not because of his incredulous handsomeness but because he helped, sort of, Juliette to find herself and he truly understood her, making them incredible as a couple
After the first book I was a Team Adam but I never hated Warner. I never felt anything toward him because I just saw him as the bad guy. Once he confessed his love for her I got angry at him and I was scared for Adam but then reading onto Unravel me was a whole new story. I was being stubborn and still after that chapter: 62, (i think), I was still Team Adam but I think it was because he seemed to be her first, he was the only one that cared for her when no one didn't and he did so much for her. I new from then on that Adam might not be the one so in Ignite me I eventually came to not be on either team and just accept either Adam or Warner. To be honest though, it seemed to me that Ignite me was all just figuring Warner out and Tahereh wrote it as if she was trying to change our minds about him and make him seem like a good guy.
Anyway, I think Warner and Juliette are well together since they do understand each other and I like how Warner is encouraging and mysterious with secrets. I agree that she did maybe fall in love with Adam in the illusion of something more. And it made sense that she might have loved him because he was there and her first, but given the opportunity to chose, she made her choice true to herself.
BUT, I also found that in Ignite me, Tahereh made Adam look really bad. I understand he was angry but I wish that they made amends somehow or Adam came to understanding with Juliette.

i think given the point in time that we are with them in this first book, i'm team Adam. If you think about it - he's the romance bit from her past - when no other kid would ever go near her, he did. The other piece is that he went against everything to rescue her, against warner, the guards, and against just about everything that was sane just to get to her and to help her develop into something AMAZING.
As me in the next book or 2 and i'll probably have a different perspective since i think that there's a natural evolution of both Juliette and the leading men that will happen.

Yes, that is so true. Adam did so much for Juliette and all but in the end it made sense why Warner seemed to be the one.

In the first book, I HATED Warner. No, hate isn't a strong enough word. Warner was the worst person I could imagine, yet people were Team Warner, WHAT? I loved Adam, but towards the end of the trilogy, I was on Team Warner and had a huge problem with Adam. Warner and Juliette understand each other and have a real connection. Adam is... well he has some issues.
Whilst reading the Shatter Me series, I did and still have internal battles as to who Juliette was going to end up with. In Shatter Me, Adam was my world. He caused goosebumps to rise throughout my being, overall, he of course was the expected prince charming.
After reading Shatter Me, I found that many who had also read it, preferred Warner. In all honesty, I saw nothing in him, he wasn't a threat nor was he the guy who had me swooning over him. During the first few chapters with Warner included though, I couldn't help but think of him being quite old or not sharing the same youth as Adam and Juliette.
At the time of Warner and Juliette sharing their first kiss together, I will admit that due to my wrong interpretations and imaginations of his age, I felt as though I was going to be sick. It wasn't until my sister had shown me a bunch of photos that fans deemed as Warner's character did I begin to adjust and make myself know that Warner was in fact young, good looking but just extremely intimidating, intense, intelligent and held high leadership power.
Overall, Warner meant nothing at the start but as I neared the end of Shatter Me, Adam was slowly eating away my patience. I guess it was an instinct or I was just getting sick of Adam that I began to already predict that there was going to be some sort of future chemistry between Juliette and Warner.
As a reader, I am not fussy over who ends up with who but I do like when another person creates a love triangle. I found it enjoyable that Warner stepped into the picture to make things a bit more dramatic and conflicting and I also knew that at some point, Warner would grow on me.
Reading Unravel Me, my heart did sink a lot at the revelation of Adam becoming vulnerable to Juliette's touch but did feel a bit relieved and comforted when Warner was captured. Each time Juliette would visit him in his room as hostage, I would practically melt and later on reprimand myself for tossing Adam and Warner between my hands. As Warner became more involved and Adam became more distant, I then didn't really care about the conclusion to Juliette's relationships.
In Ignite Me, I did feel disappointed that Juliette had chose to leave Warner at base to seek others. Even though I knew he was alive, I was also let down at the re-introduction of Adam. Throughout the story though, I had myself stuck to the idea that the two would end up together and officially live a life together because my sister had fed me false information. The reason being for my sake, so that the story wouldn't have been ruined and to make the conclusion surprising, I guess.
I read on and on believing they would be together even though the story showcased their conflict and Juliette and Warner's simmering chemistry. I slowly began to realise the truth though and had my own theories. In particular, when Juliette had mentioned the bird, how Adam was just an illusion and connection and how it was Warner all along. I myself felt EXTREMELY conflicted at this point and I didn't know what to believe or who to believe and who to trust.
Warner grew on me A LOT though! And that is a major understatement. In the end I couldn't keep myself from melting at the thought of him. In comparison to the way I had once felt about Adam, whenever Warner was mentioned, it was like I could feel his presence. A majority of the time I felt like I was going to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames. My heart would go wild and my skin would burn and go clammy all at once. My stomach hurt. Badly? No. Butterflies then? Maybe. I literally felt sick. I guess, maybe it was love sick? Yeah, that's about right.
Oh Aaron, what you do to me...
*AHEM* Anyway, I did really want Adam to be happy and my thoughts kept drifting back to the fact that Juliette had led him on and didn't... I would have appreciated if he at least came to a genuine friendship with Juliette, at least found another 'lover' *cough Alia cough* and I also would have really liked if it told more about the three brothers bonding.
In the end, of course I was team WARNER but it does not mean Adam means nothing. I do have a strong belief that Warner and Juliette were made for each other though. The two did help find one another as people. Gosh, the feels! I feel like a complete mess and so clumsy but maybe it's because I'm sore from 'working out'.
I adore you Aaron, my love.
