Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

4.0

I will forever be glad that I picked this series up. I got it from my local library and after a few pages I was already hooked.

In my opinion this is one of the darkest books in the whole series. It shows how much Juliette suffered, and it makes you empathize with her by a lot. I know that a lot of people don't like her in the first books, but I have to say that I love her, she shows perfectly how trauma makes you different and of course Juliette cries, gets aggressive and doesn't trust anyone like you tell me that you wouldn't be like that? After being locked up and treated like a monster your whole life? She isn't annoying. She is broken. Juliette get behind me! I will protect her from the haters.

Adam. He annoys me so much, and I don't say that because I prefer Aaron over him, I just don't like him. He always gave me vibes that I didn't like, and I still can't really get behind the "why" but maybe I will see it in the later books. Whenever he opens his mouth, all I hear is BLA BLA BLA. Adam thinks he is Juliette's saviour and that is so embarrassing. He was the first man Juliette ever saw in all those years so OF COURSE, she would fall for him. I stand for Adam Kent slander.

Aaron Warner, the love of my life. He isn't very likeable in the first book and I totally get how people prefer Adam in the first books.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the series holds, I'm so happy to take this Journey with Juliette, Aaron, Kenji and well … Adam.
