The Synopsis (by Goodreads)
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.
I Say...
I am currently reading Shatter Me, by Tahereh Mafi. How did I find it? My schoolmates were reading it, and one of them was going loco because of it. Plus, there was a book signing event here in the Philippines that featured three amazing authors:
- Ransom Riggs (author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Hollow City
- Veronica Rossi (author of the Under the Never Sky series)
- and of course, Tahereh Mafi. (author of the Shatter Me trilogy)
I am still reading the first few chapters of this wonderful book, and I can say that it really caught my attention, most especially the strikethrough texts that show what these people really mean. I am so curious as to how Juliette got this
