um i hate Warner first off, i am gonna dnf this series bc of him and bc i know
that she ends up with him and i just don't see her leaving Adam for him I'm sorry, i know what Adam does and it's so forced and out of character
I LOVE ADAM SO SO SO MUCH, HE IS ONE OF MY FAV BOOK CHARACTERS AND MEN>>>> that's all i have to say. Juliette is pretty cool too but she doesn't compare. i still enjoy reading her povs though. overall a very good book, plot is well thought through and very character driven which i personally love

Re-read from 2021. I would not have been able to go back through this without hoopla having the audiobook. I'm glad I could go through it again. You get a better feel of the scatter brain with audio. Her voice is a bit high pitched and nasally for me but the book itself set the scene for romance and an adventure

I didn’t know what to expect but I really fell in love with the unconventional writing style and Juliettes character! This dystopian story was darker than expected but I enjoyed reading it nevertheless.

The writing style was not done well enough to warrant it imo and appeared like the author was trying to be stylistic but came across as simply gimmicky. A book that does what this tried to do but actually succeeded is Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. I have also seen who the love interest was gonna be (thanks book tok 😅) and he is irredeemably abusive which I am just not interested in. Unless the abuse serves an actual purpose for a redemption arc it simply didn’t need to come from the love interest, even if it is necessary, then it’s up to the writer to not create a character that is genuinely irredeemable. I am over YA books encouraging young women to end up with their abusers. This series can stay far away from my romance shelf 🙅🏻‍♀️

Shatter me is the perfect book, it is so amazing and every single twist
except Adam and Juliet dating
I didn’t see coming.
The writing style of the lines scratched out was such an amazing touch and helped me understand Juliet’s crazy mind in such an easy but also interesting way
 
The romance in this book was also SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, I can’t think of any better way it could have been written. It was absolutely amazing.
I would recommend this book so anyone who loves dystopian books and also romance novels. Such an amazing read and a great opener to the series! 
5/5 stars

I really liked it it is full of action and it kept me captivated! At the beginning it felt to realistic but then I fell in love with it and couldn't stop especially when Juliette and Adam started to escape and I love that she finds people like her at the End (Omega something) and am excited to read the next books because I need to now what happens next! Love Kenji and the other people at Omega they seem so kind! I especially adore Kenji though he seems really perfect!
