Destroy Me

I loved that we got Warner's perspective in this novella. We start to understand why he is the way that he is. He sees a similarity between himself and Juliette. Although it might come across as obsessive, I believe he wants to share his experiences through abuse with someone else that would understand, and that person is Juliette.

Warner has no friends and potentially no one that likes him based on who he is within the Reestablishment. His father's expectations reinforces the inadequacy Warner feels in himself. I think he yearns for connection and his feelings for Juliette are misguided.

Although he saves her out the asylum and gives her an opportunity at a proper existence, his love for her is also possessive. He doesn't really know Juliette, but reading her notebook feels closer to anyone he's ever come across in his existence.

I appreciated this POV and am addicted to finding out how it all transpires in future books in this series.
