Similarly, in another scene, she praises Adam’s eyelashes saying that girls would kill to have such beautiful lashes. But does his proximity really wipe away all the painful years she has spent being isolated? Since when did kisses become so potent? Juliette says, ‘ He’s kissing away the pain, hurt, the years of self-loathing, the insecurities, the dashed hopes for a future I always pictured as obsolete.’ I understand him kissing away her self-loathing, insecurities, and dashed hopes for a future because he is the first guy who has touched her emotionally and literally. In one scene, Adam kisses Juliette and the kiss is hot and passionate. Two instances especially bothered me the most. But I felt Mafi’s writing was a little inconsistent and at times incoherent. Writing: I try to refrain from commenting on a writer’s writing because what may not appeal to me may be poetry for someone else. But for now, he does not interest me at all. He may have a pivotal role in subsequent books, and I may come to like him later. Though Adam is Juliette’s love interest in the book, I somehow do not like him much. I am reading the second book mostly because I want to know how his character develops in the story. Shatter Me gives just a glimpse into his life and thoughts which generates a lot of curiosity towards him. I also like Warner’s character as, for now, his backstory and even his personality are shrouded in mystery. Her choices prove that she is a good person despite having it hard in life. Life presents her the opportunity to get back at all those who wronged her but she chooses to forget her terrible past and move on to live a good and fulfilling life. Even though people have been mean and bad to her, she does not hold it against anyone and wishes to lead a simple life. She craves for love and eventually finds it in Adam. In fact, I imagined Rogue to be Juliette. Intriguing Characters: Juliette’s character in Shatter Me reminded me a lot of Rogue from the X-Men. I am super-curious to know what happens to her and how much of power she holds within herself. So, Juliette is like an important superhero who can bring about a revolution that can change a lot of things on this planet. However, she is also seen as an important weapon that can be used to change the course of humanity. Juliette is one such human who has abilities that scare normal people away. Also, uncontrolled use of power has altered the genes of certain humans who now have special abilities that make them different from the others. Abuse of nature has brought humanity to the brink of complete collapse. It is based in the future when humans have exhausted most of the natural resources and are struggling to survive. Juliette does not want to work for them and Adam does his best to help her get away from The Reestablishment.Įngaging Storyline: Shatter Me series has a very interesting plot.
