Shatter Me had me hooked from page one. I was so invested in this character and her journey, her circumstances and the situation she found herself in. I'm still left with a lot of questions but what an interesting and intriguing read this was. It had my full attention. I loved the premise and the bits of the world that were highlighted. The narrator did an amazing job with the various characters. I loved that each had their own distinct voice so there was never any confusion over who was speaking. This was an enjoyable read packed with a bit of action, lots of suspense, a romance, found family and more. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

A fantastic YA dystopian series i love to reread, listening to the audiobook was great and fast paced. Aaron is as ruthless in this one as a I remember and Juliette's mentality and narrative is nostalgic and the first time I read these books. Throughly enjoyed this reread and would recommend for YA enthusiasts who love good slow burn romance.

I first read Shatter Me a while ago and was immediately captivated, devouring the series back-to-back 🌀. My obsession even led me to buy the special editions—they truly deserve that shelf space 💫📚.

Now, with the upcoming release of Watch Me (April 15, 2025!)—the first book in the spin-off series Shatter Me: The New Republic—I decided to revisit the series through the audiobook format 🎧, and it brought all the feelings back.

Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days 🫢.
The last time she did, it was an accident... and The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why her touch is fatal, and honestly, no one seems to care. The world is falling apart—disease, hunger, broken skies 🌫️—and The Reestablishment claimed they were the only hope… so they locked her away.

But now, things are changing. Maybe Juliette isn’t just a danger—they think she might be the weapon they need. But Juliette has to choose: be the weapon… or fight to be something more 💥🛡️.

Revisiting Shatter Me reminded me why I fell so hard for this series. Tahereh Mafi’s writing is unlike anything else, lyrical, chaotic, raw, and emotional 🖋️💔. The angst, the tension, the unraveling of Juliette’s mind—it’s all so intense.

Experiencing the story through the audiobook gave it an entirely new dimension 🎙️ and pulled me back into the broken world I couldn’t stop thinking about.

And now with Watch Me coming, I can’t wait to read more about James Anderson 👀 (Warner’s little brother!), especially as this new era begins. I’m so ready to be destroyed all over again 😭.

Thank you so much to HarperCollins UK Audio, Tahereh Mafi, and NetGalley for the audiobook! This re-read rekindled my obsession, and I’m counting the days until I get my hands on Watch Me ⏳📚.
