Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi #1: Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. Then Adam re-enters her life.



Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war-- and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she's exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

Her not being able to touch somebody without hurting them reminds me of Rogue though might be a good read, dont know just by the summary

I like to think so.

So basically this girl she has grown up as a freak. Her parents couldn't look at her.. everyone was afraid because when she touches someone.. bad things happen. So three years ago, she was taken and locked up into an institution and has not seen another human being in that entire time. She has not touched nor talked to anyone. She can barely remember what she even looks like.

Then..

Well.. I won't spoil the rest.

Yeah. There was so much hype around this book, and it definitely lived up.

The only thing I could think about after finishing it was "I NEED THE NEXT ONE". It's going to be a long wait...
