| Title: Unravel Me Author: Tahereh Mafi Country: United States Language: English Genre: Dystonia, YA, Romance Publication date: February 5th, 2013 Pages: 480 pages Rating: ★★★★★   |
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.
(Synopsis from Goodreads)
In this book, Juliette has to wake up. She has to stop feeling sorry about herself and she needs to understand that people won't judge her or look at her like a monster, because those people felt the same way when they found out about their powers. And with the help of Kenji, she did wake up. More on that later.
So, I love this book. It was a million times better than the first! It had a really good plot and everything was beautiful about it! Tahereh Mafi has a really really good job with everything. The writing style was really good. If you read the first book, you know that a lot of people complained about the fact that it's mostly written with metaphors. And I agree. It was probably done this way to illustrate Juliette's damaged mind, and the way she imagined the world from her cell. In the second book, however, that was changed to more toned down metaphors. They're not as frequent, and they only appeared in moments where she recollected memories from the cell.
Also, the relationship between Adam and Juliette changed and after she found out about Adam's power, she distanced herself from him. For me, that was a good thing. Because he still treated her like she was a fragile snow flake. She didn't need that. She needed someone who could remind her that she's not alone, she's not the only one with a power. And that person turned out to be somehow Kenji. He figuratively kicked her in the nuts and told her to wake the fuck up! He told her that it's not only her! People won't judge her. They won't get killed just by standing at the same table as them. He was the one who got her away from the Judam (Juliette+Adam) bubble. Because of him, she joined other people in finding supplies and getting them to the Omega Point.
Basically, Adam dragged her down. Later in the book Juliette goes all Hulk on Warner's dad and THAT.WAS.AWESOME! I literally screamed at that part. Not only on that part. When I found out what Warner's power was, and how he hurt Kenji, I screamed and I was all like "YESYESYESYES! I KNEW IT! I.FUCKING.KNEW.IT!!" It was good! They take Warner to the Omega Point and he goes a bit crazy there and hates it, but he kept asking for Juliette, and that was the only reason he cooperated. Ish. That was probably one of the best parts of the book. He was so so adorable and nice. He was better for her and I hope in the third book he doesn't die, and I don't want Juliette to end up with Adam. Because that would be horrible.
Basically, I liked this book a great deal. I can't wait for the next book! I would advise you, if you can, to read the novella, Destroy Me, first because that will help a lot. It's not necessary, but you should, because you will misjudge Warner if you don't, and you'll think he only takes advantage of Juliette. You'll love Warner after it! Probably.
So here ends my review. It's long, it might be all rambling, and no actual reviewing, but I'm sorry.
Goodbye,
E.
