"you have no idea what you do to me."
"I hate you."

Now that I have finished the Shatter Me trilogy, I am coming back to write my thoughts on each book.

I put off reading this series for so many years because I was concerned that it would not live up to the hype it gets. MAN WAS I WRONG. These books were every bit worth my time, even being outside of my usual genres. While the writing style initially threw me off, once I got used to it the book was great. Juliette was a little annoying in this book at times, but I enjoyed her growth throughout the next two books. Just hang in there. It's worth it.

Juliette and Kent are an interesting couple, but their relationship is just not for me. I think we can all agree Warner's mysterious vibes are far more intriguing than Adam Kent.

Please give this series a chance. If you enjoy YA fiction and romance, you won't regret it. If you're looking for a dystopian specific series, keep in mind this is more romance plot than you may enjoy. (which is EXACTLY what I loved about it)

This was such a fun read, I loved the easy readability of the story and the slow introduction of all the important information instead of dumping it at the beginning. It definitely shows from time to time that this is supposed to be YA but it isn’t that bothersome. New things kept happening, ones I didn’t even expect, and it is also worth noting this was meant to be read as a series which is evident from the start. The plotlines aren’t completely finished, the story ends on a cliffhanger and it makes you want to see what happens. I am currently team Adam and I have no idea how Warren will come into play here but i guess i’ll have to wait and see.

Middle school me was obsessed with this book. Adult me skimmed a significant amount of it (Juliette is quite the over-narrator), but was not disappointed by the Warner content. In my opinion, while not a bad book, this is one you have to get through so you can get to the ones later on.
