This is not a dystopia, it is a romance This is not a novel, it is a collection of similes and metaphors, most of which do not make sense I originally gave Shatter Me two stars because that s my sort of kneejerk reaction to books I don t like, but after thinking it over for a while, I can t recall anything positive about it that would justify a rating of than one star.You re probably assuming correctly that I went into this book with low expectations This is completely true Any so called dystop [...]

I know many really a SHIT TON of people found this book to be oh so romantic, but I can t help but think how gross it was.The writing Mafi s style of writing varies Let me categorize.This doesn t even make sense writing I catch the rose petals as they fall from my cheeks, as they float around the frame of my body, as they cover me in something that feels like the absence of courage He says it with a small smile the size of Jupiter I m picturing this in my head and it s not pretty writing Every o [...]

November 2017I picked this back up on a whim because I ve been dealing with anxiety lately and wanted to return to something comforting, so I decided to annotate one of my paperback copies And I gotta say, It s weird returning to book one Ignite Me is my favorite book of all time, and rereading that book is such an immersive experience that I always come out of feeling empowered This book, on the other hand, holds such a special place in my heart because it s so relatable that it hurts From Juli [...]

This book was just awful.Awful.There is no other way to describe this book, but awful.When I was about eleven or twelve, before we had the Great Garage Sale of the Noughties, my sister used to always sit me down and force me to watch this terrible movie called All She Ever Wanted I watched that shit about seven times, and I got so abhorrently sick of it that eventually I hid it.The DVD rack hit a status quo All were happy Until one day a neighbor took the first strike in the Great Garage Sale of [...]

I always wonder about raindrops.I wonder about how they re always falling down, tripping over their own feet, breaking their legs and forgetting their parachutes as they tumble right out of the sky toward an uncertain end It s like someone is emptying their pockets over the earth and doesn t seem to care where the contents fall, doesn t seem to care that the raindrops burst when they hit the ground, that they shatter when they fall to the floor, that people curse the days the drops dare to tap o [...]

2.5 The lack of world building is one of my main issues with this book even though it seems like things will be explained in book 2 a full book with little world building is boring.I didn t love the writing and the characters felt very one dimensional.Kinda felt like another YA dystopian world with a love triangle and an incredibly pretty main character even after spending over 6 months isolated, underfed and the fact that she hasn t seen herself in the mirror in 3 years Her beauty is mentioned [...]

This is gooooooooood I m not giving it 5 stars because, even if I admire the shit out of the author s style and talent, the writing is a bit too pretentious at times hyperbole thy name is Tahereh Mafi , and I really don t care much about the whole Adam Juliette thing, which unfortunately, occupies a huge part of the story If you know me, you know I am a pro at ignoring ships that the authors clearly want you to root for I don t trust Adam and his and Juliette s feelings for each other are so des [...]

Didn t finish I simply stopped reading this book today, and it wasn t because it was boring or anything like that I just did not care for Mafi s writing style The over use of metaphors and strikeout tools caused a constant distraction, and the book was just not interesting enough for me to want to struggle through something that annoyed me so much The book well what I got to, anyway read like a super annoying IM by a 12 year old girl that just learned what a metaphor is Do we REALLY need 50 to 1 [...]

Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat That I have one, too Story Juliette was in a prison cell for nearly one year trying to survive her life in a dark, lonely room There was no one to talk to, nothing to read, to do She only had a small notebook where she wrote down her feelings, her thoughts She poured her heart out into this pages The guilt, the loneliness of never touching anyone But then she got a new cell mate A boy with blue eyes, that she remembered and a name she a [...]
