After a lifetime without freedom, Juliette is finally discovering a strength to fight back for the first time-and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever. The one boy who might give be her only hope.
Juliette is fighting much more than a war. She's fighting the world for the right to be free.
She's fighting for love.
And she's learning to love to fight.
In Tahereh Mafi's electrifying debut, Shatter Me, a girl with superhuman powers is at center of a power struggle in a desperate world full of pulsepounding romance, intoxicating villainy, and choices that will define a future.

Hey guys! Okay, so Shatter Me is a MUST read. As soon as you open the book and read just the first sentence you're like omgah I have to read more! This book is very interesting and has originality. I really enjoyed the way Mafi narrates it. You get to be completely inside Juliette's mind and you get to know what she's really thinking.
Juliette, seventeen years old, is imprisoned for her superhuman ablities she cannot control. It's been 264 days since anyone has touched or even talked to her. The only thing keeping her sane is a notebook and a broken pen she keeps under her mattress. Screams throughout the building at night and soldiers marching outside her window let her know she's not completely alone..but it doesn't help. Isolated in the 16 square feet of space all she can do is stare outside the tiny window and wish to see a bird fly by and imagine what fresh air feels like again.
She's completely alone, she has mixed emotions between hope and just giving up. Until they give her a new cellmate. Adam's(cellmate) course of action leads her right into the middle of the Reestablishmant. Now she's in a diffult sitsuation to make a choice. Will she choose freedom but also have other people suffer? Or will she fight for what's right?
I loved Juliette. Not only is her superhuman powers amazing(at sometimes scary) but she's also a kindhearted person(but can be pretty badass whaen she wants to be). I think anyone who reads this book when it comes out will agree. All she ever wanted was for someone to love her. And her whole life all she was, was kind to people but they never said "thank you", they just acted like she didn't exist. Juliette overall has a big heart and never gives up hope.
Bye
