I have to remind myself that these books are young adult so I can't think of these TEENAGERS as adults.  


I want to say I HATE Castle.  I have absolutely zero love for him.  I respect his dedication/love for Kenji.  But his constant anger with Juliette is almost enough to have me DNF the whole entire thing.  THEY ARE CHILDREN. THEY ARE CHILDREN WITH *TRAUMA* Their "public" outbursts are going to happen.  I don't consider hallways as public, especially as they'd leave a room they were in to have said *private* discussions.  These CHILDREN were never allowed privacy except in their own rooms that they weren't allowed to have members of the opposite sex.  
Everyone except Adam and Warner act like she hasn't had seventeen years of chronic mental/emotional abuse and trauma and that she should just snap out of it in the ten seconds they've given her.  I hope that the adolescents that are reading these books don't think that this is *normal* and that when they are processing trauma, that they are expected to act normally at.all.times.

Ok, now that we've moved past that.  I adore these books. I'm trying to forgive Juliette for the love triangle, but being seventeen is hard. I would have a hard time denying two very attractive boys who were heavily interested in me too. I love how understanding Warner has become, getting to know her mind through the journal.  How quickly he figured out his power and how to make it work with Juliette.  My heart absolutely ACHES for Adam. ACHES. I can't wait to devour the next book to see where everything is leading.
