Cute little conclusion to the love story.

Also has the best Kenji comedy moment of the entire series. If that doesn’t convince you to read this, nothing will.

I really enjoyed this series but I’m so sad that I didn’t enjoy this last instalment!

I just found it ridiculous how they were planning a wedding so soon after a literal war and then Warner was pissed when it didn’t go to plan.

Warner was literally just so grumpy throughout this book.

And not much happened. All the romance was cringe. I know it’s a positive end to the series but it just seemed not realistic in the slightest and was a bit of a let down unfortunately.

Crying. Actually Sobbing. This book was perfect. It was the perfect closure for me. I always end series or books and am always wanting that last little bit. Believe Me was exactly that. This book followed Aaron perfectly and made me feel an emotional roller coaster for him. His character development and love for Juliette from his novella are so perfect. The entire time I was reading this, I was crying and screaming. It just made me so happy. The final chapter and the last page actually took me out. Aaron’s interactions with Kenji and finally getting to see Juliette were so heartwarming. This book. This entire series changed my life. I will forever be grateful for Taherehs amazing work, and I would do anything to read this series for the first time again. The quote in the first Shatter Me book. “I spent my life folded between the pages of books.” Well, it means a lot more now that I’ve officially finished the books. Especially the “I formed bonds with paper characters.” Traveling along with these characters has been such a roller coaster of a journey. And I feel like I know them personally. Each character has inspired me to be a better person in my daily life. Especially Juliette. Shatter Me will always have a very special place in my heart. If you see this, please give these books a chance. They may change your life. 💗
