"No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon. But Juliette has plans of her own.

In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a riveting dystopian word, a thrilling superhero story, and an unforgettable heroine." ~ description from the back of the book
I was a little late to the Shatter Me Series party, but boy
am I glad I decided to join in the fun! Shatter
Me truly lived up to my expectations and I can see why it is a bestseller.
My heart broke for Juliette.....I could not even imagine
having to grow up with parents not wanting to touch me or love me...and to just
give up on their own child. Having to
live in an asylum for almost a year and not have any kind of contact whether
verbal or visual just tore me up inside.
You can tell from the beginning that Juliette is a very strong person,
and that it takes a lot to break her.
Adam.....ah Adam. I
just fell in love with him. I just admire
that he cares so much for Juliette and was not scared to be around her. He risked so much to rescue her and I can't
wait to see what develops with the romance....there is such a great connection
between the two. And his little brother James.....well he is just
too cute!
Warner....hate is such a strong word, but I truly hate this psychotic
man. There is a special place in hell
for demented psychopaths like him. I had
heard that there is a love triangle with this series, and I really hope it does
not include him, or if it does I hope he gets less creepy as the trilogy
progresses.
Lastly, who could not love Kenji? What a character! He has such a witty humor, I can't wait to
read more about him.
This is a superb dystopian
romance and I highly recommend it to anyone. The writing was spectacular and draws you in immediately
to a very moving, very emotional story.
Now on to Unravel Me!
