Is this book cheesy and over the top? Yes. Are the descriptions sometimes so ridiculously dramatic and overwrought they feel like 13 year old angsty tumblr poetry? Yes. Did I love it? Also yes. Feeding the hidden 14 year old in me is my new favorite pass time. I am listening to the next audiobook as I write this review.

reread (03/02/24 - 03/05/24)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
i definitely forgot a lot of the stuff that happened in this book, even though its my literal favorite series of all time. i believe the reason i am giving it lesser rating this time is because i know now how much better the other books are compared to this one. i think one of the biggest reasons i rated this less was the fact that the characters haven’t developed at all yet. which i am aware this is the first book im just saying im sad cuz i know how good the character development in this series is, so i still have to read the bad to get to the good.

also looking at my old review and knowing that warner is the villain rn, why the heck did i think he was hot in this book??? if i were reading this for the first time i would totally think he’s creepy. and how did i know his first name is aaron?? that did not get introduced in this book. dont get me wrong, i still love him and all but hes actually so creepy in this book. like that kiss? yes. it was hot. no one can deny that. but wth. that could literally be called sexual assault.

all in all, i love this book but sometimes you have to read the worst to get to the best.

first read (10/27/23 - 11/02/23)

Shatter me was impossible to put down. I wish I could read Shatter me again for the first time. It was excellent, a real page-turner. Shatter me was fast-paced, engaging and suspenseful. Everything about this book was beautifully complex. Shatter me kept me spell bound, and I was compelled to keep reading. I was forced to feel the characters' emotions!! I'll be thinking about Shatter me for a long time to come. I would recommend this book to anyone. Read it!!!!!! I promise, you’ll be hooked.

2nd Read:

How did I finish this so fast? I don’t know, honestly. I still love this book, and I hated Adam so much through it. I forgot how jerky he was from the start.
