I was excited to read the Shatter Me series because I loved [a:Tahereh Mafi|4637539|Tahereh Mafi|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png]'s A Very Large Expanse of Sea.

Shatter Me isn't quite as complex or satisfying, at least not so far. The protagonist, Juliette, has a terrible curse: she can kill with her skin. Bad people consider Juliette's curse a blessing and want to weaponize it. Juliette is horrified by her ability and its consequences, and like the rest of the world, considers herself a monster. The rest of the world, that is, other than the weaponizers...and a guy. And maybe another guy, Warner, who also happens to be one of the weaponizers, but also fancies himself in love with Juliette.

This being dystopic YA, the world is going to depend on Juliette one of these days. When Shatter Me ends, that day hasn't arrived, but it's in sight. The version of the ebook I have is followed by a bonus novella [b:Destroy Me|13623150|Destroy Me (Shatter Me, #1.5)|Tahereh Mafi|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1340398466l/13623150._SX50_.jpg|19226840], told from the point of view of the weaponizer in love. I'm about halfway through and thinking, dear blob, please don't ever pair Warner and Juliette.
