Shatter Me is about Juliette Ferrars, a 17-year-old girl who can kill people with just one touch. Her parents called the authorities on her, and she was imprisoned because she killed a little boy by accident with her lethal touch. She was sent to an asylum, where she’s had to fend for herself for 264 days.
One day, a boy named Adam, who Juliette use to know from school, becomes her roommate. She then gets transferred to another facility, where she meets Warner and realizes Adam is posing as a soldier. Warner is the chief commander of Sector 45. He wants to use Juliette as a weapon to torture people who are part of a resistance. Because of this, Juliette and Adam plan to escape.
I really like Shatter Me because I feel its words visually represent Juliette's mind as a whole. Everything she sees, thinks, and feels are described throughout the book. The ending shows how Juliette doesn't just want to escape from Warner. No matter what, she wants to save everyone from him, and she is ready to fight.
