Major props to the Shatter Me fandom for even getting me to pick up this book. I can see how I am 100% not the right audience for this book (despite my love of YA dystopian novels). In case you are questioning reading this and you felt in a similar position as me, please note that the writing is juvenile (Juliette is a 17 yo, not a 13 yo…who writes like this?!) and the logic is so flawed. I cannot comprehend how a relationship manifested itself between Adam and Juliette? And why is there even a touch of sympathy for a psycho like Warner? Make it make sense, please.
