I feel as though my history is being rewritten, infinite paragraphs scratched out and hastily revised. Old and new images—memories—layer atop each other until the ink runs, rupturing the scenes into something new, something incomprehensible. Occasionally my thoughts feel like disturbing hallucinations, and the onslaught is so invasive I fear it’s doing irreparable damage.

The devastatingly romantic fifth novella in the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Shatter Me series, chronicling the events after Imagine Me, the explosive sixth novel. The book that all SHATTER ME fans have been waiting for is finally here. The finale of Tahereh Mafi's New York Times bestselling YA fantasy series perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Victoria Aveyard's The Red Queen, Stranger Things and Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows I also love how Aaron loves Julliete so much and his love is all consuming and you can never separate these two from each other. Soulmatism at its finest ✨️🤌 We were sitting outside, staring at the stars. I couldn’t remember ever seeing the stars like that—sharp, clear. It was late, so late it wasn’t night but infant morning, and the view was dizzying. I was freezing. A brave wind stole through a copse nearby, filling the air with steady sound. I was full of cake. Warner smelled like sugar, like decadence. I felt drunk on joy.

Christmas Cards & Gift Wrap

Despite my parents’ relentless efforts to rid our minds of the lingering proof of their atrocities, Emmaline prevailed. She used her psychokinetic powers to return to me what was stolen from my memories. She gave me this gift—this gift of remembering—to help me save myself. To save her. To stop our parents. I think I speak for the majority when I say we love this series for its main characters, Warner and Juliette, their development, and the romance. But this book barely had them in it. Both Juliette and Warner are apart for the most part. Juliette’s mentally unstable because she is losing her memories again so most of her chapters are all over the place and don’t offer much Warnette content because even when she is reunited with him, she doesn't remember him at first. I still don't understand why Tahereh didn’t just give Warner, her MAIN character, a POV (I’m not counting the epilogue here). I personally would’ve loved to read from his POV while Juliette was in danger and was losing her memories again. But everything we got, we got from Kenji's POV, and this book felt more like a Kenji book to me rather than Warner and Juliette's. I can’t help but think that she should have just written a Kenji spin off instead. And also, for people who definitely have lots of opinions about rebuilding a post-destruction world (to the point that they insulted Warner because apparently, he has been making "bad" decisions,) people of the Sanctuary chose a leader who had the worst leading tactics and strategies ever. But I love that Kenji was there for him even though Aaron tried to pushed him out of his life. He was always there for him. A friend he needed and even though Aaron gives him life threats but Kenji knows that Warner loves him just not the way a normal person would love their friends. But he does and they are besties I know they are but they would never admit that truth.

We’re in a big, wide room that smells like dirt. There are trees everywhere, so tall they nearly touch the pipes and beams of the open ceiling. Birds, dozens of them, screech as they stretch their wings. Their calls are loud. A little scary. I try not to flinch as one of the large white birds swoops past me. It wears a bright, neon-green bracelet around one leg. They all do. You've always known me, love. I've always known you. And I'm so-I'm so desperately in love with you-" Mum doesn’t yell. She’s never yelled. My whole life, she’s never raised a hand to me, never shouted or called me names. Not like Aaron’s dad. But Mum doesn’t need to yell. Sometimes she just says things, things like you don’t have to understand and there’s a warning there, a finality in her words that’s always scared me. Before I start, if you loved this book, you should probably ignore this negative review. This is one of those times when the fan theories are better than the actual plot.

Games

Emmaline gifted all of us—all the children of the supreme commanders—with memories stolen by our parents. One by one we were awoken to the truths our parents had buried, and one by one we were returned to normal lives. The side characters were also meh. I liked them but didn't feel any strong emotions. I feel like Nazeera wasn't really present in this book, even though she was literally part of the rescue mission to get Juliette. It felt like she was there but also not. Which makes no sense. I love Winston and Brendan though. They're so cute. I want a book on them too. We should've gotten books on Nazeera and Kenji and Winston and Brendan instead of this unnecessary trilogy.
