Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
5.0

This book is so. damn. quotable. I wrote down like 20 different quotes to take note of. My favorite is probably "Do you like Shakespeare?" but Kenji says a lot of funny things as well (my fav character for sure). Another interesting thing is despite the fact that Juliette has become more stable than the previous book, where she had entire pages crossed out, her excessive use of metaphors hasn't changed (in fact I'd say it's improved, she makes less illogical comparisons now). It's basically poetry at this point. The writing style is one of my favorite things about this series, I've never read something formatted this way, and it really adds to the story. I have always liked poetry and especially free verse, so I appreciate the elements of that in the book.
