Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi


Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) Unravel Me

it's almost
time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

__________________________________________________ 

Hmm. Something about Mafi's writing completely and utterly destroys me.  (Ha! You could say it shatters or unravels me too. Ha! Okay, I'll stop.) I know not everyone is the same, because I know I've had some friends who weren't as enamored with her writing as I was. No biggie. This book swept me up in this tidal wave of thought and feeling and angst and everything. I wasn't happy with everything in this book - I'm getting a little tired of waiting for third books before a heroine finally feels empowered and capable of kicking aspirin, but I have high hopes for the next one.



Mom note: As a mother of readers, I also want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures. Violence: moderate; Profanity: don't think so; Sex: just kissing
