5.0

this was SO good. i was audibly and physically reacting to it. by the time i finished the book i was pacing the hallway vibrating with energy. this was mainly character development over plot but it was SO GOODAMN GOOD!!!! the plot mainly happened in the last 100 pages but it was awesome and i will be thinking about this for a WHILE.

i am in love with warner and kenji, they ate everything and i love them with my whole heart. james needs to be protected with everything and i feel like i am missing a pivotal moment where james gets to hug juliette because she can be touched now and that would be such a special moment between them

4.5

Favourite book in the Shatter me series so far!! Omg Juliette's character development was so good and I could not stop reading. It was so s enjoyable and had plenty of funny moments. Its not a 5 only because of some of the mega hyped up moments being a bit underwhelming but other than that I loved it!! Adam was for sure questionable but the beef he brought on had me gasping . Overall I tots love this book and for sure recommend reading this asap after unravel me (or the novella after unravel me) as its mega fast-paced and quick to get through!! AHH best of luck and fun to all those reading this or planning to do so!!

Great third instalment. Enjoyed Juliette’s character development and that things didn’t perfectly fall into place for Aaron or Adam but really liked all the side characters developing too. Writing is great.
