Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi was just as fast paced as the first three books in Juliette’s story. I love being able to see the other side, as well as the edition of Warner’s point of view. I feel like this book allows us more insight into both characters, and allows us to see Warner’s pure feelings. I also think these books are a great representation of mental illness, and living through them. This was a really fast and quick read, much like the other before it, and I’m really excited to see where this series goes from here! If you’ve enjoyed the first three in this series, it’s a safe bet you’ll enjoy this one, too!
