Synopsis: Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.   

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color. 
 The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now. Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.
Review: The book was terrible. This book was weird.

And to think that I was considering giving this book five stars.

The beginning was so good! I thought it was going to be one of my new favorite books. I had already planned out part of this review in my head; I was going to describe Shatter Me as "beautiful" and "artistic". But the romance ruined every thing. It was cheesy and cringe-worthy. And unfortunately made up 80% of the book.

I'm so done with this book.

Don't read this book! It's way too cliché...
