Shatter Me
Blurb:
I have a gift
I'm more than human
My touch is power
I will fight back
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.

Blurb:
The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, called “a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love.”
With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.
The Shatter Me series is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Tahereh Mafi has created a captivating and original story that combines the best of dystopian and paranormal, and was praised by Publishers Weekly as “a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.” Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and satisfying end.

P 318
I'm〔Juliet〕 beyond rational thought. Beyond words , beyond comprehensible ideas.Seconds are merging into minutes and hearts are collapsing and are grasping and I've I tripped over a planet and I don't know anything because nothing will ever be able to compare to this.Nothing will ever capture the way I 'm feeling right now.
Nothing matters anymore.
Nothing but this moment...
P 321
I feel like I've been split open and stuffed with sunshine.
P 324
I'm caught off guard, so touched by the sincerity in his voice
P
His eyes crinkling in happiness

I spent my life folded between the pages of books.In the absence of human relationships i formed bonds with paper characters .I lived love and lose through stories threaded in history,I experienced adolescence by associations.My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew ,thoughts and images all together.I am a being comprised of letters,a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination through formed through fiction.
figment :a conception or image created by the imagination and having no objective reality
=fantacy, vision
sinew :
(1)solid resilient strength (= power)
(2)b : the chief supporting force( : mainstay —usually used in plural)
