Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
2.0

Let me explain this.

I love the unique writing style of this book. I love that the world is dystopian because of climate change. I want to rate it 4* for those reasons.

And I love the ending, it makes me want to read the rest of the series NOW.

And that is quite an accomplishment, because I dragged myself through the second half of the book.

I was so annoyed by the over-the-top erotic moments, bleh. I think they misrepresent kissing and stuff, which is a bad thing, especially for the age this book aims at. Too much feels for too little action. I did not see the point in this, why does this add to the story? So that was really annoying, hence the 2*...

I do want to read the rest of the series. People are telling me the books get better and the erotic moments get less (thank god)(I don't know if more is possible, if there will be any room left for a story, I don't think so). And I really don't get the #teamwarner people so I really want to read book 1,5 and 2 because people say I will understand.
