What Shatter Me is like to read
A feverish, first-person present-tense plunge into the head of a girl caged by her own lethal touch — the poetic, strikethrough-laden prose and raw interiority are as much the draw as the dystopian romance. Propulsive and emotionally charged, with an escalating love story and superhero-tinged stakes. Best for: YA readers who want intense, lyrical first-person voice and a slow-burning dystopian romance with a dangerous love interest.
