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.
I loved Shatter Me by
Tahereh Mafi but, I will admit that with the twist at the end I was a little
afraid of where she might be taking the sequel. Was it going to be more like
X-Men? Was it going to lose its beautiful lyrical style? Were there going to be
more strike-throughs? What would happen to this beautiful relationship that
Juliette and Adam had formed? And most importantly what happened to Warner?
Because yes people I am Team Warner and damned proud of it!
Tahereh took my worries and quickly put them at ease. Dare I say Unravel Me was better than Shatter Me? I think I will! Where
Shatter was brilliant Unravel dazzled! It was another beautifully written story
that had me screaming, pulling my hair, swooning, crying (bawling actually),
and left me absolutely speechless!
I won’t go into much detail as to where the story goes because I
don’t want to be yelled at for posting spoilers. I actually got yelled at on
twitter for posting page numbers! Yes just page numbers people not even what
was going on! Let me just say we meet more people with unique gifts some are
pretty damned cool. Also there are some really cool twists to the story that
left me saying “No Way!”. We also get more of our favorite characters; don’t
worry Team Adam people there’s plenty of him in this book! We also get to know
Kenji better and I absolutely fell in love with his charismatic smile, quick
wit, and snark. If Warner didn’t have my heart completely Kenji would. I will
say Juliette’s adjustment to being around people left her kind of whiny and
standoffish but, that is only in the first part of the book. And my Warner
*sighs*, my Warner he is so amazing! You get to see a more human side; and yes
people I know that were adamant Warner haters who have read Unravel now love
him too! Don’t believe me? Read the book when it comes out!
I chose a couple passages that I loved each for different reasons……
Adam and Juliette:
Adam isn’t
looking at me anymore but he’s not letting go, either. I lean forward and leave
a light kiss on his heart. He finally meets my eyes. Offers me a smile, pained
smile.
“I love you,” I
tell him, quietly, so only he can hear me.
He exhales a
short, uneven breath. Whispers, “You have no idea,” and pulls himself away.
Pivots on one heel. Heads out the door.
My heart is
beating in my throat.
The girls are
staring at me. Concerned.
Sonya is about
to speak, but then.

Warner (sighs) and Juliette:
“Do you know,”
he says, closing the cover of the journal only to lay his hand on top of it.
Protecting it. Staring at it. “I couldn’t sleep for days after I read that
entry. I kept wanting to know which people were chasing you down the street,
who it was you were running from. I wanted to find them,” he says, so softly
“and I wanted to rip their limbs off, one by one. I wanted to murder them in
ways that would horrify you to hear.”
I’m shaking now,
whispering, “Please give that back to me.”
He touches the
tips of his fingers to his lips. Tilts his head back, just a little. Smiles a
strange unhappy smile. Says, “You must know how sorry I am. That I”---he
swallows---“That I kissed you like that. I confess I had no idea you would
shoot me for it.”
