So far this series is really good! I think this first book is a lot of world building and character introductions. The middle of the book seems like the beginning. I am very glad there are more books to expand on Juliette and Warner. I so far don't trust Adam and love Kenji and Juliette. I think the world building works very well it just means the into is super slow.

This book was my way out of reading slump! I love every inch of this book and I can’t understand how I was able to stay away from it for so long. The characters are perfect. I've never felt this way about a book in a long time✨
Also
Hoping for more Juliette+Warner in the second book 🫶🏻

- I liked Shatter Me. It was fast paced and engaging. It was interesting to learn about everything with Juliette. I liked how she never lost her humanity, especially with how powerful her abilities are. Her voice and reactions are realistic. 
- I loved Juliette and Adam together. Especially since they knew each other from childhood. (Yes, I kind of know what eventually happens with Juliette and Warner).
- James is so sweet and a positive/innocent person in such a dark and scary world. 
- Kenji is so funny and not who I was expecting. 
- It was interesting to learn more about Omega Point and the abilities that other people have
- I’m not going to continue the series right now because there other books that I want to read. I would loved this book more as a teenager.
