Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Did not finish book. Stopped at 82%.
I know everybody says the books get better as the series continues and I really tried but I forced myself to pick this book up again for like 5 times and just can't seem to finish it.
After reading like 20 pages I could see the plottwist coming and neither the first nor the actual love interest are likeable characters...not because they may be morally grey just because they are so dull (and kinda creepy?).
And while I am wishing for the fMC to simply use her brain a bit more at least I can understand why how she acts is very frustrating as she is traumatized and the seclusion has hindered a lot of mental growth.
(But it is also kind of creepy that because of the hindered development she still in some ways is a lot like a child but is really sexualized...)
