Shatter Me

Tahereh Mafi

November 15 2011

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.

The book sounds so awesome and I've heard great things about it so far. It seems very different then a lot of dystopians I've read so far. It kind of has a little bit of an X-men element to it that makes it sounds really good. I can't wait to read this debut novel, I'm sure it's going to absolutely amazing. I don't really like the cover though... it's  boring, but maybe after I read it my views of it will change. It comes out in mid November, and hopefully I will get it for my birthday which is a few days after :)
