Warners father sucks. Adam was being kinda rude to Juliette.
the first part of this book was so boring. i liked the second half but why did juliette have to say “adam.”
4.5 Starts.
Unravel me is the kind of book you want to throw away from frustration while reading and read at one set at once. It's the kind of book that makes your eyes tear a little and manages to draw a smile on your face. It's the kind of a story we all can relate to. It's an utterly conflicted journey of emotions, a mix of hope and despair, fear and relief, love and hatred, joy and sadness. You'll experience every feeling you had, every feeling you thought you never will.
The writing was stunning. The plot was captivating. The book was a little slow but confusing and many things were happening and it was perfect for me to digest everything happened perfectly.
A lot of people complained due to the resemblance from other dystopian books like Divergent and Delirium, but it didn't bother me at all. It's like Tahereh Mafi managed to mix our favorite books together, forming an amazing hooking wonderful masterpiece. And every character was a special individual not similar to any other character in any other book.
This Chapter Sums up my love for Unravel Me :
"Just a moment.
Just 1 second, 1 more minute.just give me another hour or maybe the weekend to think it over it's not so much it's not so hard it's all we ever ask for it's a simple request. But the moments the seconds the minutes the hours the days and years become one big mistake, one extraordinary opportunity slipped right through our fingers because we couldn't decide, we couldn't understand,
we needed more time, we didn't know what to do.
We don't even know what we have done.
we have no idea how we even got here when all we ever wanted was to wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night and maybe stop for ice cream on the way home and that one decision, that one choice, that one accidental opportunity unraveled everything we've ever known and ever believed in and what do we do ? what do you we do from here ? "
I'll need some time to recover after reading this book, it was a very pleasant experience, and very special.

Damn you thought nothing happened in the first book try this one. How was there no real character development at all?? Especially since that's all we constantly talk about? I'm only reading this because everyone keeps telling me that the third book is a masterpiece but this one was really boring. Not bad but still nothing special...

It honestly feels like an elaborate plan to prank me personally, because how in the world does this book have such a high rating and so much popularity and love?? I genuinely read the first book and got so angry at the writing style that I had to convince myself it’s written that way because Juliette is sheltered and definitely very possibly needs years of intense therapy. I made myself sympathize with her just enough to get through the first book. I stopped myself from continuing the series for my own sanity, but my FOMO is basically masochism at this point because I went and read Destroy Me. The writing still annoyed me, but I gaslit myself into thinking it was decent (probably just because it was short). So I kept going with book two.
And wow. Wow wow wow. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
It is
Still
Annoying.
The writing style is wild. Like…? Why is it like this? Juliette and Adam are so whiny and insufferable. The whole thing reads like a very very amateur wattpad story where every emotional breakdown or fight has to happen in front of an audience. I’m not kidding, they both whine constantly and Juliette cries every two seconds. Two seconds. Two seconds.
Kenji was fine until he wasn’t. Then he became this super annoying “I know everything but I’m gonna act mysterious and hide behind my jokey jokey persona” type of guy. The only remotely intriguing character is Warner, and even he is not that interesting.
This is X-Men if X-Men was just a group of angsty teenagers who think the apocalypse can wait until they finish sorting out their feelings.
I was this close to DNF-ing it, and then halfway through it actually got good. But then it went back to being nothing again.
And now I’m sitting here wondering, am I too much of an adult to enjoy YA? But that can't be it, because I still read contemporary YA, fantasy YA, paranormal YA, dystopian YA, and I enjoy those. So I don’t know if I should keep going. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. (get this reference of repeating repeating repeating words?????? ARRGGGHH)
If I do, am I really just a masochist like I secretly think I am? I'm my own worse enemy.
And wow. Wow wow wow. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
It is
Still
Annoying.
