Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

3.0

 If I had read Shatter Me when I was 13, I probably would have loved it. That said, as an adult, it was too young for me. It's generally difficult for me to rate individual books of a series, because I never know if I should compare the books to each other or the series as a whole. I think for a first book in a series, Shatter Me did a decent job introducing us to the world and characters. The writing is polarizing as it is a unique style. I enjoy reading in different styles and voices, so I wasn't bothered by it, but I wouldn't necessarily choose it. Overall, I think a lot of the hype surrounding this series and the relationships on booktok are due to loving it when younger. I don't want to judge it too harshly as I do not believe I am the target audience for it anymore. At the very least, it's an easy, quick read.
