Why did I wait so long to read this book? 
Shatter Me followes Juliette - who has always viewed herself as a monster, with a curse. She has the power to harm others with just her touch alone. After an accident when she was fourteen, she was cast away. For years she was tested, until they put her away in an asylum. 
Until one day she gets a roommate. Then her life is flipped upside down. From the bleak nothingness, to being taken. She has to make a choice, if she will become a warrior or a weapon. 
So, this is a YA dystopian novel that I have had sitting on my shelf for ten years now. It was recommended to me, so I grabbed the first book, without knowing any info about it. I have been hesitant to read it, bc the FMC character shares the same name as my daughter. But I finally decided to pick it up, and I'm glad I did. 
I love YA & dystopian novels - so this was no different. It follows Juliette in a world that is dying. People can't afford to live, to eat, to survive. The reestablishment was supposed to help save the world, but they haven't. And Juliette ends up in the middle of having to make a choice- with multiple powerful people who have heard of her powers wanting her for their causes she has to decide what she will do. 
Overall it was a good intro to the books, and world and I am looking forward to reading more about Juliette and the other characters. I definitely recommend if you like YA dystopian books. 
4⭐ out of 5 ⭐.

Början av boken var lite seg, så det var svårt att komma in i boken. Men den blev bättre hela tiden och jag tror de kommande böckerna blir ännu bättre.

Juliette har varit inlåst i nästan ett år för att hennes beröring dödar människor. Adam blir en dag hennes första rumskompis och upptäcker att hon kan röra honom. Warner, ledaren av sektor 45, är väldigt investerad i Juliette och det visar sig att Adam är hans soldat som fick i uppdrag att komma närmare henne. Trots detta flyr Juliette och Adam tillsammans.

i had high hopes for this book considering how popular it is. it was really good, the writing is incredibly poetic and i think that’s part of what makes it so good. 
i’m not usually that into fantasy and dystopian books but this wasn’t bad, i did enjoy the magical element and didn’t find the world too confusing which i often do. 
i was kind of surprised how much smut was in this lol. as someone who is generally incredibly bored by smut and romance n such i kind of skimmed over it or skipped it but if you are into smutty stuff i def recommend it lol. 
but omg the writing. the crossing out of sentences really added to the poetic style - i loved it. i think the main highlight of this book was the writing style. it was just beautiful

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
