I mean I always suspected that there’s a lot of darkness behind his shiny smile, but to actually read about it. It was kinda tough to read about his feelings though. If I didn’t, I think my own pain would’ve killed me a long time ago.” I have to make a conscious effort to remember that. My body works, my brain works, I’m alive. Okay, maybe I’m biased for giving this 5 stars but damn! I just loved this! *lol* It was amazing to be back into this world and even more amazing to see it through Kenji’s eyes! I always had a soft spot for him and I think he deserves way more attention than he actually gets! He’s such an awesome character, he has a great sense of humour and he’s the best friend anyone could ever wish for. ”Everyone thinks I’m not supposed to give a shit – that I shouldn’t – but I do. Eeeeeeeep I hope we see Warner in this and he and Kenji are stuck in a cell together and thriving and scheming to get Juliette back and skhjdflgbhfdkgdblhgdkfl IM EMO I WANT IT SO BAD

Honestly, I wish this came sooner instead of just a month before Defy Me, but I'm not about to complain about more content. I have a TON more to say about this with theories and new info reveals but it's 4:30 AM and I've been making my way through this book since midnight so my brain is just a big happy mush in my skull because I love Kenji so much and I adored this novella.ĬONFIRMED KENJI POV!!!!!!!! I'm so stoked. I wouldn't necessarily call it a bridge book between books 4 and 5 (honestly, these chapters could have been thrown in at the end of Restore Me because I actually think they better describe the events than Warner and Juliette did), but I still had SO much fun reading it and was laughing and gasping at all the new information and world building and conversations that we didn't see in Restore Me. I think this book was the perfect balance of exploring Kenji's voice, getting his funny inner monologue, learning more about the world, and seeing the events of Restore Me from his eyes.

but this book made me realize that I would rip my fucking heart out and put it on a platter for Kenji Kishimoto.
