Shatter Me: Tahereh Mafi

I have a curse
I have a gift
I am a monster
I'm more than human
My touch is lethal
My touch is power
I am their weapon
I will fight back
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

I'll have you know that I honestly didn't want to read this book, until my dear friend Rachael finally forced me. And it was absolutely incredible. This book has a more unique writing style and it works. We see everything from Juliette's point of view, in opposite ways. Juliette is severely depressed and Mafi does and excellent job of showing it in such a realistic way. This book had me crying at the emotions that Juliette was feeling, just the way she described it was just so raw and powerful. Her writing was like reading poetry at times. It just flowed so well and so beautifully that it hurt. It honestly hurt my heart to read some of the passages by the raw intensity of the emotions on the page. 
Juliette and Adam's relationship was like a car crash waiting to happen. It was fast, it was reckless. And something is bound to happen.
Warner is a bastard... But an interesting bastard. And honestly I want to know more about him.
As I said before the writing is beautiful, though at times distracting especially when I was getting sick of all the repetitiveness.
But honestly this book was very interesting, it was beautiful and I will be starting the next one ASAP.

Until next time readers <3
