4.0

Unite Me gives us two novellas that do much justice for the two male love interests within the Shatter Me series. We see much more depth and insight into Warner's and Adam's characters, which is needed to understand these characters in future novels. 

Destroy Me ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 - After reading this, I see why people are obsessed with Aaron Warner; he has layers. Destroy Me was quite an emotional read and gave so much more depth to Warner. And that dog scene was too sweet; Warner is not as sadistic as he appears in the Shatter Me novel; deep down, he has a beautiful soul!

Fracture Me ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Getting an insight into Adam's mind was good and needed. I found him bland in Shatter Me and Unravel Me, but Fracture Me gave Adam more depth. It was nice seeing his relationship with his younger brother James and that he puts James's safety above everyone else. Also, seeing how the battle played out was fun; we didn't get to see it all in Unravel Me.

Juliette's Journal ⭐⭐⭐- I am not 100% sure why the Unite Me novella collection included this; it seemed to repeat what had already been said, in Shatter Me, Destroy Me and Unravel Me.
