★★☆☆☆
2 out of 5 stars
No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The
Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon.
But Juliette has plans on her own.
After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally
discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time—and to find a
future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.
I did not hate this book, even
though I should have. I like the writing style for the most part though at
times I felt some of the metaphors were a little bit "extravagant",
not to mention the way the strikethroughs were over done made me feel as if the
character had a multiple personality disorder.
But
my two main issues with Shatter Me were:
1. Juliette, the main
character, a monster teenage girl with a tough childhood, rejected by society
and locked away (200+ days living under some of the most depriving
circumstances yet still looking super hot ) due to her strange and very
powerful curse gift. She is emotionally damaged and overall weak due to what
she has been put through, but she whines, she whines A LOT, and that made it so
hard for me to get to like her at all, and she being the top insecure doesn't
help either.
2. The lust disguised as
flourishing romance. Seriously, the force of the teenage hormones were
strong with this one; but to be honest the over the top hormones weren't such a
problem but the insta-love was, there was no romance, just a poorly built
relationship between the main character and her love interest .
I
still gonna read Unravel Me since I already got the book.
