Shatter Me was an interesting read, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. I appreciated Juliette's struggle with her powers, but at times it felt like the story dragged a bit. While the writing has some beautiful moments, I found it a bit overdone for my taste. The love triangle with Adam and Warner felt predictable, and I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I hoped. There were cool concepts and some action, but overall, it didn’t leave a lasting impression. It’s definitely got its fans, but it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
