Believe Me

I don't know how many stars i should give the book, im between 2 or 3, for me the book was a 2.5/2.75, i don't know.
I didn't know what to expect but not what I read. I just want a book with domestic scenes between Aaron and Juliette and cute scenes and, you know, love. And yes, we have love but idk.
The only thing I really loved it in the book was Warner with the dog.
And Kenji, i love you so much, we should be best friends.

2.75/5⭐
A much better end to the series than the dumpster fire that was Imagine Me. It started off really slow and I didn't care and almost DNF'd it but I pushed through because I wanted to finish the entire series. The book started some plot points that it didn't wrap up like the riots that were happening. Like why mention it if you're not going to resolve it yk? And the dynamics between Warner and everyone else were weird because he was beefing with everyone in this book. So happy for Brendan and Winston. They are so so cute together. Also, the spice was really good. “I'm going to marry you today. And then I'm going to make love to you until you can't remember your name.”

This novella is just okay. We get some Warren and Juliette smut which is fine, but not exactly what I wanted. We don't get a wedding, only a build-up to a wedding. And I spend half the novel feeling bad for Warren.

I wasn't expecting much, and I guess it's a fitting end for a trilogy. I think I just wanted a little more. I think the actual wedding might have bumped this up to 5 stars.

bro I don't think u understand. my heart aches rn. WHERE IS KENJI'S WEDDING? I WANT TO SEE MY BOY'S WEDDING!!!

I want to be reincarnated as their mother. every single character's mother just so that I can hug them and kiss them and tell them I love them and make them Sunday roast and bake them sweet treats and watch them and their children (aka my grandchildren) grow up and get old and then die happily.

GOD DAMN the author built this entire character relationship ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULLY. I don't think I have been this attached to characters before (namely kenji and warner). This was an extremely wonderful story and I am so happy to have embarked on this ride. This is a comfort series now and is easily a 100000/10 read.

favourite book series of all time, even if I read anything else, nothing will ever beat this series. ever. THIS is my favourite. I would love to reread it all over again.

absolute perfection and I am so, so happy. I don't even want to say goodbye to this series and stop reading because then that means that the characters ‘die' inside my imagination. I want to live in this world beside them, sending all my love. I love (most of all) the characters. so wonderfully written and characterised that I find it hard to live without them accompanying my thoughts.

bye bye Shatter Me series. I loved reading this book and I really, really want to thank the author for writing it. goodbyes are hard. I love you, inanimate object (the book).

It's giving horny teenager. I'm assuming it's why this series falls in the smut category and it's just not what I was expecting/wanted given the rest of the series is not like this.

Also someone said in their review that the characters completely change in the last 3 books and I couldn't agree more. I feel like they've become more insufferable and conceited and annoying and it seems like the author just got lazy halfway through.

I'm just annoyed because the series has potential and should've just ended way earlier!!!!

rating - 7.5 / 5overall series rating - 4.5/5 > Shatter me series: 4.5/5 > Restore me series: 5/5SOBBING. THIS BOOK WAS SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL.
I need more. I want the vows. The entire wedding. I want to read about Aaron and Juliette and dog living together with kenji as their neighbour. give me another novella set in the future where everything is perfect because all the characters deserve it so so so much. Aaron deserves it so fucking much.

“Ella, I don't . . . I've done nothing to deserve you. The way you make me feel—the things you say to me— It's terrifying. I keep thinking the world will realize, any second now, how completely unworthy I am. I keep waiting for something horrible to happen, something to reset the scales and return me to hell, where I belong, and then all of this will just disappear. You'll just disappear. God, just thinking about it—”

AHHHH this book did everything right.

Aaron's pov was just perfect>>>

so upset that it's over
