Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

3.0

---

To me, the most important points of a story are 1) the writing and 2) the characters. Based on the other reviews of this series, I thought for sure that the writing would do me in but I was wrong. Mafi's style is unique and flows very naturally throughout the book but it was Juliette that drove me crazy. In Shatter Me, I gave her annoying behavior some leeway because hey, she was locked up in an asylum for 264 days, but in this book I was expecting much more from her. Instead, we get an obnoxious, love obsessed, whiny child who doesn't even deserve her powers. And if I can't stand her, how am I supposed to believe that not one, but two, ridiculously gorgeous guys are pining away for her. Ugh. If it wasn't for Kenji putting her in her place every time she opened her mouth I don't think I would have been able to finish this book.
