Destroy Me

rating: 4/5

I really, really liked destroy me. It was short, to the point and does its job as a bridging novella.
The only setback in book 1, was the prose and excessive use of metaphors. This wasn't an issue for me in destroy me, since aaron's pov doesn't read like juliette's. It was easier for me to get through due to the lack of contrived writing.

While the novella itself was short and didn't add to the plot as such, I think the small insight into aaron's pov is essential to his character arc. As a reader we do find out quite a bit. I know it's to humanise him and evoke sympathy, so we can start rooting for him. But I'm still a little bit on the fence about him. Let's see how I like the rest of the series. super excited to continue! :)
