Shatter Me

So I don’t like this book. The characters are just kinda boring and I don’t know it’s just not giving the feeling I think books should give. And mind you I have just about liked every book I’ve read. All the popular books that people recommend I usually thoroughly enjoy but not this one. The insta love between Adam and Juliette is just kind of icky. And the fact that I feel like the author had so many opportunities to give us some plot twist. But it gave nothing in the first half of the book. The only reason that this got 2 starts instead of 1 is, when I was reading, I did want to keep reading. BUT I struggled to pick it back up. There was nothing pulling me back to read this. I stopped halfway through. And apparently people say “it gets better in the second book” or after the second book or whatever. No thank you. It should be good now. I shouldn’t have to purchase 2 books for it to start getting good. And it’s not even about the purchasing, it’s more about that I shouldn’t have to suffer through a boring and predictable story. So yeah. Take this as you will. I enjoyed ACOTAR, red queen, the hunger games, and a lot of romcoms, but the feels just weren’t in this one.

Don’t waste your money or time. The writing is good for the first few chapters and then gets progressively more sloppy. The only good thing was how realistically she portrayed the effects of abuse. The characters fall flat, and the plot feels rushed. Writing feels amateur, I read this twice and really wanted to like not but no. Maybe good if you’re 10-13. Read shadow and bone or acotar or cruel prince instead.

Awestruck, wondrous, exhilarated. what an incredible start to an incredible series. truly cannot recommend enough!!

fast paced and good world building

it has potential to become more developed but it didn’t have much in the first book

I need to keep my 13 year old self out of the YA section cuz the way Juliette had me rolling cuz you said I love you and Adam asked yeah and never said it back. Anyways 10/10 her saying she’s not insane was definitely a bit like me. But a must read.

This is the first book and it’s not the best in the series but it still shows us everything and i love it

I can't write a single thing I like about this book. It was hard to get through and the plot just wasn't there.

Good easy ready but nothing special, I was excited about this book but it kind of let me down. I am still going to give the other books in the series a shot.

Gets kinda inappropriate in the next couple books but it’s still outstanding. TEAM AARON!!!
