Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi was a tough read for me at the beginning. I started this book a few times over the years, but this time, I forced myself through it. I’m honestly not sure what made me keep putting this book down, because by the end, I was ready to jump into the next one. I think this book was paced well (even though the first hundred pages or so were a bit slow) and I like the way action unfolded but allowed for more to happen afterward. Sometimes, series can get bogged down in getting to the end of their journey, but this book set itself up to continue for a few more books. While the progression of that remains to be seen, I am looking forward to reading the next book to see how the characters continue to develop. I do feel like some of the s characters are a bit one note, but I’m hoping that since this is only the first book in the series, it is because they are going to have longer development arcs. If you’re looking for a longer fan stash series, I would give this first book a shot to see if Mafi’s series is for you!

i loved this book. I loved the writing style, how it reflected so well on Juliette’s state of mind, how it evolved throughout the book, her relationship with Adam, i just loved everything. The plot was good, it had a fast pace and short chapters, it kept me hooked. I’m left with SO many questions unanswered so it lowers my rating a little bit.

i don’t get why Warner is so loved throughout this series and Adam is so hated on. I don’t understand Warner’s motives and his actions, he’s an enigma for me. I don’t understand anything he does or says, like when he said he loved her i was like ????? since when. I’d like to see him explain more in these next books.
Adam is so sweet, i think he is a little overprotective though but he’s still my n1 ship with Juliette. It really intrigues me how Tahereh Mafi is going to make me love Warner and hate Adam, because at this point i feel it the other way around.

i’ll read destroy me to have a warner pov because i need it and then i’ll read unravel me.
Juliette <3 she’s so strong and amazing, i love her. I love that she has a weak state of mind, her chain of thought is so disorganized but she’s still questioning things about the people and places around her.
