Shatter Me
by Tahereh Mafi
THIS. WAS. SO. BAD.

I wouldn't have been able to finish this if it hadn't been for the audiobook and even that made me cringeeeeeee .
The writing? God, awful. I can't believe this was actually published. And the metaphors!!! The author uses so many unrelated, nonsensical analogies and similes. Some were well thought of but most of them were awkward to read.
The plot? Um... What is that? The definition of the word must've been lost in translation cause i don't think the author actually knew what a plot was supposed to be. It seems as though the whole plot was this teenage dude names Aaron Warner. And boiiiiii did he suck. Like really. How the f— is he so popular on booktok???
The characters!? Juliette is a teenage babe. I can't with her. She's overdramatic, powerless—despite having a lethal touch— and whines about warner and how miserable she is. *eyeroll* I just can't stand her. Also let's talk about the fact that at many times she asks/begs to be killed but then regrets and fears for her own life the moment Warner threatens her. Like... The incoherence baffles me. Surely, despite the plot being non-existent, the characters at least would be well fleshed out, right? Right?????
I'm sorry for the rant but these things just had to be said like gurlllll i just bingeread this cause i didn't want to deal with it anymore. Also i won't be rereading the sequel anytime soon— i promise you that.
