Review: I cannot believe I have reached the end of the “Shatter Me” series! It is crazy to think that after six books and four novellas that my time with Juliette, Warner, and Kenji is coming to an end.
“Imagine Me” gave me the ending to the series that I wanted, but I didn’t think the book was particularly necessary. The novel itself repeated a lot of the previous book’s plot points. It became pretty apparent that “Ignite Me” was meant to be the original ending to the “Shatter Me” series because every book that came thereafter was a bit repetitive.
That being said, I would read trash if it meant I could spend more time with Juliette. I loved reading from her and Kenji’s points-of-view and Warner once again proved that he is boyfriend material by putting Juliette’s life before his own. His relationship with her is just so precious and he is an absolute wreck when he is kept apart from her. Unfortunately, Juliette and Warner spend most of the novel separated, resulting in less romantic moments between the two of them.
What sets “Imagine Me” apart from the previous novels is the way in which it is formatted, which I appreciated. The strikethroughs and repetition from book one return as Juliette’s history is rewritten and her memories return. In addition, I thought it was a cool idea to label some sections “Juliette” and other sections “Ella” depending on when she has her memories and when they are being kept from her.
I loved the direction Mafi took with the epilogue and how it was written from Warner’s point-of-view. I can only hope that Juliette and Warner get their happily ever after in “Believe Me.”
