Juliette has finally found herself after years of isolation and thinking she’s a monster. I’m so happy for everyone! Thought the finale fell a little too rushed and flat and easy for our group.

 “Ignite, my love. Ignite.”
 
 
With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust— the same person who saved her life.
 
 
I absolutely adore Tahereh Mafi's writing style, I think it's very immersive and engaging. Every chapter keeps me hooked on the story, leaving me unable to put the book down. I loved Juliette's character growth, seeing her accept herself and grow into the woman she wants to be was a liberating experience. She's such a strong character and I admire her ambition and courage. This book just proved how great Warner is and how incompatible she was with Adam. Adam wants a girl he's able to protect, someone to wholly rely on him. Meanwhile, Warner has done nothing but encourage and support Juliette in all her indevours. I can't wait to see what the two of them are going to do together next.

taylor swift songs for this book  are “false god”, “peace”, “I think he knows”, and “dancing with our hands tied”

I hate Adam now, and I am a Warner STAN. Aaron Warner is the king of being DOWN BAD for Juliette. Let’s normalize men being this obsessed with the fmc (female main character). I am loving for this enemies to lovers arc. I freaking love Warner!!!! He may be a murderer, but a FREAKING HOT ONE! Warner is the king, the OG morally gray character, he basically invented it. Why I love Warner over Adam so much is that Adam thinks he loves Juliette in spite of her flaws and Warner loves Juliette because of her flaws. Warner sees the real Juliette, not some glorified version of her that Adam made up in his head and needs to be protected (small, weak, fragile, etc.). Warner knows she’s a bada** and treats her as such, pushes her to be better, accepts, loves and encourages her while wholeheartedly accepting and loving her faults/her dark side. I saw someone on tiktok say that they love the enemies to lovers trope so much bc someone’s  after seeing the worst parts of yourself, and even when they have every reason to hate you, actively chooses to love you anyways. That is exactly it. And that is Warner and Juliette 100%. I love how far these characters have come as well as their development, all of the characters are constantly changing and evolving and growing together. I totally get the hype for these books now, I’m sorry I didn’t see it earlier. The romance is TOP TIER. And the major action/dystopian plot is pretty interesting too, I think it’s a great concept that is executed really well. Juliette is my QUEEN, she is the original girlboss. Again, there’s a lot of rambling/stream of consciousness type of writing, as we can read Juliet’s thoughts, so if you don’t vibe with that, you won’t like these. But gosh darn it if I didn’t fall head over heels for Warner. 

This is not really graphic or explicit, it’s more describing the emotions that are happening and you can imply what’s happening. I’d say 0.5/5🌶 it literally lasts like maybe 5 minutes and it doesn’t really say anything explicit at all, it’s just all implied. I was told that it would be spicy, and it’s the good kind of spice, where it feels so romantic and hot and real but without graphic detail- describes vividly the emotional intimacy, implies physical intimacy if that makes sense.

Favorite one in the series by far my favorite  chapter was 56 and you can’t tell me otherwise loved the character development.
Warners mothers death literally made me cry my eyes out and the fact that Dealule had no idea breaks my heart.

this is, by far, the best book of the [shatter me] series. I had so much fun reading this, and how far the characters have come. the amazing character development (both to Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner). 

Warner and Kenji are such interesting characters, really. Adam, on the other hand, had gotten his downfall: emotionally manipulative to his ex lover, Juliette. James is so cute, he deserves better. The others, the remainings of Omega Point are so much help. 

I rate this a four because it was great, really, the pace and the tension and the whole storyline. it’s the writing I despise, it’s too dramatic. overall, it’s I would recommend this to teenagers who enjoys dystopian fiction.
