Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
4.0

Oh my, what a ride this book was! Also, why didn't I pick this up sooner?? I'm lookig very disapprovingly at my past self right now!

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, I liked the plot, the characters, everything about it! I have to say that it is a bit predictable, but I think that is due to the abundance of similar books I've read over the years!

Our three main characters are all interesting in their own way and I like/dislike them for different reasons. Starting with our main girl, Juliette, I just really really like her! I hope that I won't stop liking her as the story unfolds in the next books, but as for now, I admire her strenght and integrity very much! I think she's a very good person at heart and I hope she'll stay the same!

Moving on to Adam and Warner, I have this particular problem: whereas I'm supposed to dislike Warner (since he's the bad guy), I can't help but dislike Adam more. I don't know why, I just get a feeling whenever I'm reading about him that tells me that he's up t no good and his apparent infatuation with Juliette seems a bit forced and I am thinking that maybe it's just a facade! I don't know, we'll see what happens next!
Warner obviously isn't my favourite character, I think he's seriously damaged and has many psychotic tendencies, but he seems so interesting and I can't wait to read more about him!!

All in all, Shatter me is a book that I would definitely recommend to others, it's fast paced, has a very interesting plot full of twists and well developed characters!

PS Even though Jasper gets on my nerves AAAAAALL the time, I think he's pretty funny, tbh!
