Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. I already put a hold on it at the library for the audiobook.Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days. But I think he needs Juliette to ground him and to keep him from doing the terrible things he is capable of. Would someone talk to me like that please? Unless the issues with Adam get resolved in some awesome way in the third book, I think I’m going to have to be Team Warner. Check out the quote I’m using for our That’s What He Said Thursday meme tomorrow. I felt so sad for Adam, but without going into spoilers, I’m not going to say why. I usually can’t stand love triangles, and I didn’t think it was possible for me to like Warner, but Ms. This book, like Shatter Me, was more about the characters and the extremely well done love triangle. Unravel Me developed the “gifts” or superpowers these characters have and explained them further to the reader. The plot didn’t develop as much as I would have hoped, but this book was more of a stepping stone to get to the war that I expect to read about in Ignite Me. (I’ve had other people tell me they couldn’t stand the audio of Shatter Me because of the chalkboard scratches.) I think the audio was very well done. Yes there are chalk board scratches whenever there is a strikeout in the book, but I didn’t find them annoying at all. Her male voices did sound a bit feminine, but that wasn’t too bad. The narrator’s voice was very fitting for Juliette because she sounds so innocent. Yes, I own the ebook, but alas time to sit and read is not on my side lately. I enjoyed getting this one on audio as well. There are so many good quotables and really unique imagery in this book.

Like in the first book, the writing was excellent. I loved Shatter Me, and really feel the same way about Unravel Me.

I can’t even begin to gush about how much I enjoy Tahereh Mafi’s writing style in this series. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart-and Adam's life. In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch. She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. It is a place for people like her-people with gifts-and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.
