Now, I still completely agree with absolutely everything I wrote in the real book review for Ignite Me, however I just wanted to evaluate on the point that I made about my thoughts on Adam and Warner. I know that after reading Ignite Me a lot of people claimed that they hated Adam and some people felt that Juliette was made for Adam and not for Warner, so there were a lot of unhappy people. However I found that I didn't hate either one of these boys.
I know that Tahereh Mafi's intention when she wrote Adam's character in this book was to make all of us hate him so that we would all be happy with Juliette and Warner ending up together. However, no matter how much I hated how Adam was treating Juliette, I just couldn't hate him. No matter how hard I tried, I could not see why everyone thought that he was in the wrong because in reality I cannot blame him for his actions for he had a bruised ego and a broken heart. I also think that his attitude here made me like him even more because of how I got to see the true him and his true feelings, which I really enjoyed. I think that, if people are going to be horrible to Adam, then they should really think about how Warner acted in Shatter Me.
By how Warner acted I do not mean is ruthless way of leading Sector 45, I actually mean near the end of the book when Juliette had to shoot him just to stop him from using her body for his own pleasure. It disgusted me how he just thought that Juliette wanted him, even though it was clear that she was resisting him. He also had a clear obsession and always needed to have her near him. After reading Ignite Me, I now quite like Warner and Juliette together and I love that he would do absolutely anything for her, but if we are going to question Adam because of one tiny detail, I think it is important that we also think of Warner's actions too.
So, in summary, I liked both Adam and Warner, though I do agree that Warner and Juliette are better together than Adam and Juliette ever were. I also loved how in the end they were willing to work things out and be bros (literally!).
