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 …

In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a world as riveting as The Hunger Games and a superhero story as thrilling as The X-Men. Full of pulse-pounding romance, intoxicating villainy, and high-stakes choices, Shatter Me is a fresh and original dystopian novel—with a paranormal twist—that will leave readers anxiously awaiting its sequel.
Review of the book and not the author.
This is not love. This is not erotica. This is not action. Felt like a book written by a pre-teen.
Altho I read many middle school level of books, wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
The fact that this book has 5million rating and the author went on to write sequels for this book baffles me.
Didn't enjoy the rapey attitude of the "bad guy". Didn't enjoy main "couple" having to stop and kiss almost constantly. The whole "touch me touch me touch me I need to be touched" stuff was very uncomfortable (though totally understandable from the characters history/point of view).
I really only liked the last few chapters, and even then I think I'm going to find a synopsis online somewhere for the rest of the series.
this is unironically one of the worst books i've ever read in my life
I'm tentatively tagging this one as a superhero romance, even though so far it's really just a dystopian romance with hints of superheroism to come.
It's a fun book with interesting characters, although some of that character exploration is a little clumsy. It was certainly an easy book to keep reading, and the action is well written and exciting.
Ma fatemi il piacere..
This is a nonsense-copy of X-Men.
There's a minimal plot and there's a huge love triangle.
Finally I have finished this book. The beginning was really good but the rest did not catch me at all..
