I've got curse I have a present I'm just a monster I am more than just human My feel is lethal My feel is power I'm their gun I'll battle back In exactly 264 days Juliette did not touch anyone. It was an accident the last time she did but she was locked up for murder by T... he Reestablishment. Nobody knows why touching Juliette is fatal. So long as she doesn't hurt anybody else, nobody cares. The world is crumbling too busy to pieces to pay attention to a girl who is 17. Diseases destroy the population, food is difficult to find, birds are no longer flying and clouds are the wrong colour. The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so Juliette was thrown into a cell. So many people are dead now that the survivors whisper war – and it has changed their minds. Perhaps Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed in a poisonous corpse. Perhaps, right now, she is exactly what they need. Juliette has a choice to make: Be a weapon. Or be some guerrilla.

A dystopic thriller joins the crowded shelves but doesn't distinguish itself.
This is a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.
Shatter Me is one awesome debut! There was a wicked awesome plot, a great main character, and one hot love interest. Put that all together and you have a book that you will be sad to miss.
Most of the novel is written in stream of consciousness...Mafi also uses strikethrough in the text, crossing out some of Juliet’s thoughts and replacing them with others...The strikethrough is a bit distracting and it’s difficult to care for Juliette when we know so little about her, even if her circumstances are dreadful.
