SHATTER ME by Tahereh Mafi

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.

In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a world as riveting as The Hunger Games and a superhero story as thrilling as The X-Men. Full of pulse-pounding romance, intoxicating villainy, and high-stakes choices, Shatter Me is a fresh and original dystopian novel—with a paranormal twist—that will leave readers anxiously awaiting its sequel.

This author is a sadist. Prove me wrong. How can she make Warner so intriguing and likable when he's clearly not going to end up with Juliette? (They NEVER end up with the guy I want them to end up with. Eg: Gale in Hunger Games.) I mean, c'mon. Why did she have to make him LOVE her without just making him a stock character bad guy? Arrrrrrrrrrgh.

Finished the book in two days. So mad because I thought it was a standalone book and now I have to wait another YEAR for the sequel. Grrr.

LOVED this book! Not sure how I feel about the movie, it may go very wrong, but I can't get enough of Adam and Juliette. I get the Warner-love, but the guy is just too obsessive and creepy to pass anything Adam has with her...I hope, anyway, because it would just ruin this for me if this turned into a Twilight love triangle!!

i read it in a day and can't wait for the next one!

Love this book

[KianaPosey]

I really think they should make a movie of this. It would probably be just as AMAZING as the movie!!

I felt pity for Warner. Honestly, he's seems so sad..and he's worked so hard to get Juliette. Oh well, Adam's perfectly fine too. Also, that hesitation part when she didn't immediately jump out of the window? Huh. What's that about?

@MaximumStrawberry hahah. i agree. warner was so interesting but clearly, just like you said, doesn't end up with juliette.
