�� Reread #1: (Jan 2024)

�:*:･ﾟ4/5 �

I already loved this one the first around, so i was so excited to reread it- and it DELIVERED 😩😩 This really felt like the turning point in the series- the first book was kinda bad ngl but from here they get GOOD 🤭🤭💘💘

“Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.�

I think Juliette's character development was done really well- she was still really annoying at the beginning, but by the end, she has really grown into her powers. She's finally becoming badass and i was � here � for � it � I also lovedd all the Kenji content in this book- he is hands down the best side character and his humour made this book sm better 🤭🤭 KENJI SUPREMACY ✋�

“The man is moody as hell.�

“I am not moody—�

“Yeah, bro.� Kenji puts his utensils down. “You are moody. It’s always ‘Shut up, Kenji.� ‘Go to sleep, Kenji.� ‘No one wants to see you naked, Kenji.� When I know for a fact that there are thousands of people who would love to see me naked—�~ KENJI I LOVE U

And i ATE UP all the warnette content in this book 😩😩🦋🦋 All the warner scenes had me screaming crying throwing up, giggling, kicking my feet, running laps around my room. The tension between Warner and Juliette was PERFECTION and Chapter 64?! *pterodactyl screeches* 😮�💨😮��

“I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body.

I want to know where to touch you, I want to know how to touch you. I want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. Yes, I do want to be your friend. I want to be your best friend in the entire world.� ~ i dare you to read this and not fall in love with warner immediately

All the juliette and adam drama tho- 🥰🔪 it made me want to punch the wall. I will be taking great pleasure in skipping adam's novella<3

“I want so many things,� he whispers. “I want your mind. Your strength. I want to be worth your time.� His fingers graze the hem of my top and he says “I want this up.� He tugs on the waist of my pants and says “I want these down.� He touches the tips of his fingers to the sides of my body and says, “I want to feel your skin on fire. I want to feel your heart racing next to mine and I want to know it’s racing because of me, because you want me. Because you never,� he says, he breathes, “never want me to stop. I want every second. Every inch of you. I want all of it.�

“P±ô±ð²¹²õ±ð.â€�
He says “Please don’t shoot me for this.�
And he kisses me.

Overall, if you read the first book and didn't enjoy it, PLEASE still try this one- it is sm better and warner was just SO GOOD in this book 😩😩 I had such an amazing time rereading this!! 💘💘

� 2024 Challenge: Book 17 of 115 �

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reread time 🤭🤭 I'm officially back in my Shatter Me era, so I'm so excited for this one!! 🥹🥹💓💓

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

�� Original review: (Feb 2023)

This was SUCH a good time!! 🤩🤩 I tried to go in with realistic expectations bc I didn't love the first book, but it surprised me with how entertaining it was! Such a good second book 🤌🤌

“Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.�

Starting with the characters! 😃 Tbh I didn't love any of the characters in the first book, but they really started to shine in this book. Though some of them also went downhill... *cough* Adam *cough*

➡� Juliette:

Juliette really irritated me in Shatter Me bc she was super whiny and annoying. But she actually got better in this book! 🥳🥳 (thank goodness) She finally went through some growth and became a lot more developed. She's becoming a lot more likeable, which was great. And I also loved to see her growing relationships with certain characters... ��

➡� Kenji:

Ahhhh I love Kenji sm!! �� He's basically the 'clown' of the group and his jokes always just lighten up the mood sm. He's literally so entertaining to read about and I'm also loving his growing friendship with Juliette! 🙌 He would probably be my fav character if not for someone else... 🤭

➡� Warner:

Sorry Kenji, but Warner HAS to be my fav character 🤭🤭🤭

If you don't know me, hi, I'm Grace and I love morally grey characters. And Warner is the perfect example of why ��

THIS MAN. I'm OBSESSED!!! ��🔥🔥 You know the person who always seems so put together and perfect (bc he is basically) but hides their emotions deep inside? And only opens up to certain characters... *screams* That is the perfect description of Warner. That trope works so well on Warner and I love him. I am officially Team Warner now 👊�

➡� Adam:

Hmm. Hmmmmmm. 😑😑

I didn't not like Adam in Shatter Me, but I wasn't a fan either... he just seemed bland. In here however, he annoyed the heck out of me 😤😤 He was always stirring up unnecessary drama and just being super needy and whiny, and I was just over here rolling my eyes and face-palming. Like, he is SO dramatic 🤦�♀�🤦�♀� Pls shut up Adam, you're annoying me 🙄🙄

Overall, a very solid cast of characters. Warner the loml, Kenji my fav comedian and a Juliette who isn't whining all the time! �� Excluding Adam, I really liked all the characters 🥰🥰

“The man is moody as hell.�

“I am not moody—�

“Yeah, bro.� Kenji puts his utensils down. “You are moody. It’s always ‘Shut up, Kenji.� ‘Go to sleep, Kenji.� ‘No one wants to see you naked, Kenji.� When I know for a fact that there are thousands of people who would love to see me naked—�

Next, the writing! One of my main issues with Shatter Me was the writing. It was written in that confusing way, with loads of strikethroughs and the weirdest metaphors. I understand it was supposed to reflect Juliette's mental state, but it just made my reading experience a bit unpleasant.

But I feel like there was loads of improvement in the writing here!! It still had the strikethroughs and some metaphors, but it was a lot easier to read and I feel like it was just a lot more polished. I actually am really starting to like Tahereh Mafi's writing!! 🥰🥰

The plot was pretty good! There was a decent amount of action and drama, which kept me entertained and speeding through the pages. It was literally so entertaining. I wouldn't say that this is for you if you want something SUPER plot heavy, but if you want to just come along for the ride you'll enjoy it sm 🙌

“Have you ever had a girlfriend, Kenji?"
"What?" He looks mortally offended. "Do I look like the kind of guy who's never had a girlfriend? Have you even met me?�

Lastly, the romance (basically the best part of the book) If I'm being honest here, the only reason I continued this series after the messiness that was Book 1, was the romance. I'd seen so many quotes and I was curious... and it was completely worth it �� Literally the romance hasn't even fully developed yet and it's already so good. The tension omg- I was eating it up 🤭🤭🤭

The only thing about the romance I didn't like was that stupid drama with Adam and Juliette 🤦�♀�🤦�♀� I can't with Adam- If you want to preserve your sanity, just skip those parts and move on to the REAL romance ��

ALSO CHAPTER 64 🔥🔥

“I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body.

I want to know where to touch you, I want to know how to touch you. I want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. Yes, I do want to be your friend. I want to be your best friend in the entire world.�

Overall, I loved this!! �� You have to try this series if you want:

� Unique writing style
� Cool cast of characters
� Loads of entertainment
� Amazing romance

I know the hype is scary huge but trust me, it's worth it 🤌🤌
