“Shatter Me” – Tahereh Mafi

Rating: 5/5 Stars

This series has been on TBR list for quite a few years now. I borrowed the books from the library but either never got around to reading them or I just was not in the mood to read any books at all. I recently picked up this book towards the end of the month of July and read it in one day only. I loved the writing style of this book and the character development and their relationships are well developed. The plot of the first book in this series was so intriguing that once I started the book, I never wanted to put it down. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a dystopian read!

 Synopsis: *provided by Goodreads* 

“I have a curse
I have a gift

I am a monster
I’m more than human

My touch is lethal
My touch is power

I am their weapon
I will fight back

Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.”
