This was a good read. The world building and plot is interesting but I’m still confuse about so many things. Hopefully I will get all the answers in the next book!

i can't believe people are calling the Shatter Me books a tiktok sensation like they're not the biggest series of 2010s YA wave (and so fully deserved!!!)

1st read: 24 August - 2nd September 2021
This was *SO* good!! What the hell have I been doing for the past decade??? (I know what I was doing, postponing popular series until the hype dies because that's who I am as a person)
I was so incredibly and pleasantly surprised by this novel! I'm following Tahereh Mafi on instagram and absolutely adoring her content, so I thought it was about time to give her writing a try. And let me tell you.... the writing style in this was absolutely SPECTACULAR!!! This is probably the most well-written YA book I've ever read in my life, and it was so up my alley. Great metaphors, wonderful descriptions, emotions-focused; literally all my favourite things in one. And we are talking about a debut novel here, so this is incredibly impressive and yes absolutely worth the hype.

Also... I finally understand the meaning of the cover, oh my god. I've been waiting so long for this. I enjoyed the world-building - even more relevant nowadays, to be honest, as it encompasses climate collapse. I really liked some of the characters, but the downside of reading a popular series so many years after its release, it's that.... you know the endgame relationships? So reading about this love triangle is like... okay, can we get going already?

A point taken off because i truly LOATHE childhood friends to lovers from the deepest hole in my heart, I'm sorry. Very excited for the new volumes, which I am sure I am going to like A LOT!

The first series of the Shatter Me series tests your patience as it's slow and doesn't give away much about the characters or their background. Most of the time it was confusing and since I was aware of the popularity of Aaron Warner, it required me a lot of time to adjust to Adam Kent.

Luister, is dit het beste boek op aarde? We weten allemaal dat het antwoord nee is. Echter, ik moest voor mijn studie heel veel zwaar theoretische boeken lezen in een korte tijd. Ga ik daarnaast dan nog de Great Gatsby lezen? Hiervan weten we ook allemaal dat het antwoord nee is. Even lekker de hersens kunnen uitzetten en doorlezen kan met dit boek uitstekend. Ik durf zelfs te zeggen dat het op sommige stukken nog best leuk kan zijn. Dit geldt eigenlijk voor elk deel in de serie tot nu toe (deel 3). Misschien kopieer-plak ik deze review bij elke. Laten we mensen lekker laten doen wat ze willen, vooral als dat slechte young-adult dystopian lezen is. Laat mij even 14 zijn op mijn (bijna) 22e.
