    About this audiobook

    The thrilling second installment in New York Times bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series.

    It should have taken Juliette a single touch to kill Warner. But his mysterious immunity to her deadly power has left her shaken, wondering why her ultimate defense mechanism failed against the person she most needs protection from.

    She and Adam were able to escape Warner’s clutches and join up with a group of rebels, many of whom have powers of their own. Juliette will finally be able to actively fight against The Reestablishment and try to fix her broken world. And perhaps these new allies can help her shed light on the secret behind Adam’s—and Warner’s—immunity to her killer skin.

    Juliette’s world is packed with high-stakes action and tantalizing romance, perfect for fans of the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard and the Darkest Minds trilogy by Alexandra Bracken.

    Ransom Riggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, raved: ""A thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love, the Shatter Me series is a must-read for fans of dystopian young-adult literature—or any literature!""

    This bestselling series from powerhouse author Tahereh Mafi showcases relentlessly thrilling action, heart stopping romance, and a war-torn world in which rebellion is the only path to freedom.

      I can't believe I'm saying this, but Juliette and Warren made this book the best of all 3! Everyone loves an "underdog" story though. Can't wait to read the 4th!

      love the passion of these characters and overall the self discovery and unraveling of Juliette and her powers. I love the love triangle yet there's always room for more. Kenji is MY FAVORITE CHARACTER OF ALL ????

      I literally cried and grieved during chapter 62 & 63. This book is SO good at making you feel everything Juliet is feeling.

      The action picked up in this one. I want to see what happens so, I'm moving on to book 3 now.
    • 5/5
      I had just finished “Shatter Me” approximately 2-3 days ago. It’s was spectacular! But “Unravel Me” was incredibly, and undeniably enchanting to my soul. The figurative language used to describe both feelings and emotions perfected such empowerment and infinite liking to this story. My perspective of Aron Warner changed to the uttermost extent. I am IN LOVE with this 19 year old boy. He’s so … different from the rest. Adam is nice and all, but compared to Aron; he is the least understanding person amongst this excerpt. Anything he doesn’t want to hear goes in one ear, and out the other. He doesn’t listen, unlike Warner, who can literally sense emotion. Castle isn’t necessarily the most lovable character, but Kendgy is SO humorous! He never fails to make me laugh every time! I loved each and every character’s personality. All prevailing such potential and individuality. Especially Juliet, whom I’ve FALLEN IN LOVE WITH since the beginning! There is, however, one thing I am uncontrollably nervous and anxious about. Will Brendan and Winston be ok? I can’t help but worry for their lives. Even though their names weren’t mentioned very often, I loved their energy! So far, I’ve listened to two of your books- not ONCE bored; not ONCE annoyed by your enchanting voice! You don’t even understand how excited I am to read “Ignite Me”! It gives me “Hot Warner” vibes! Ahhh! Can’t wait!
    • 5/5
      I read it last year for the first time and still like it. It's better than the first.
    • 5/5
      I love this book can't wait to read ignite me. It would really ruin the series for me if Warner does not end up with Juliet
    • 4/5
      i love warner so much, i'm glad we got to see more of him in this book <3
    • 3/5
      I rated the first book in this series with four stars, but I dropped a star for this one because I got annoyed by the shift from a dystopian fantasy novel with a hint of romance to a romance with a hint of dystopian fantasy. I was particularly annoyed by the sheer amount of heterosexual teenage lust, and especially the narrator's constant descriptions of how beautiful the two boys she's attracted to are, as though her attraction was primarily superficial. The author seems to have lost track of her world-building and instead tried to tap into the Twilight fanbase with the moody romantic bits, which are my least favorite aspect of young adult fantasy. I'm not yet sure if I'll listen to the third book in the series, when it's released.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book and will be starting book 3 today.
    • 4/5
      Very good series! IF you can get through all the interminable teenage angst, which takes up a good portion of the story, you will find that the story itself is quite good and captivating. Although my eyes got very tired from rolling them so much ? (!), I decided to plow through in order to enjoy the rest of the story. I think it’s worthwhile. Narrator does a great job!!
    • 5/5
      Listen to the audiobook instead of reading it a second time and all I have to say is that I love it even more than the first time around ?
    • 3/5
      Better character development and less redundant descriptions, like in the first book. Let the Team battles begin for her. ;)
    • 4/5
      This book is much better than the 1st in every possible way.
    • 3/5
      Mafi’s prose continues to be beautiful, unique, and gripping, but it doesn’t make up for what doesn’t work for me. The story is hyper heterosexual, with a love triangle that is expressed in some ways that don’t sit well with me. And, while we saw some use of the word “crazy” in the first book, it was primarily the MC convincing herself that she isn’t crazy, despite what society said about her. In this one, it is used liberally to mean stupid or uncomfortable or dangerous. Her grasp on the language should allow for vocabulary that doesn’t further stigma against mental illness, and it comes off as lazy.
    • 1/5
      Boring. Plotless. Romance took too much place in a so called dystopian. The narrator’s voice was very annoying.
    • 5/5
      This series just keeps getting better and better, can't wait to finish the next one!
    • 4/5
      BookNook &mdash; Young Adult book reviewsThis book is ridiculous confusing. And I mean that in the best way. For starters, Tahereh Mafi drops about 8 bombs on us in this book. It's like BAM big reveal, BAM bigger reveal, BAM your mind = blown. But beyond that, Unravel Me is a book that will, somehow, force you to love the bad guy despite your better judgement.To be honest, I think it helped that it had been months and months since I'd read Shatter Me, so I'd actually forgotten how cruel Warner really was. In Unravel Me we see a completely different side to him, but since I didn't remember many details from Shatter Me, it was like I was seeing Warner for the first time... and maybe he wasn't so bad. And this is one of the reasons why Unravel Me has left me completely confused. Which guy am I rooting for?"Is it even possible," he whispers, "that you can't feel this fire between us?"&mdash;Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi, Page 391 I think the 'problem' with Unravel Me is that the book itself feels very much in Warner's favour. While Adam is definitely still there, he's portrayed as a much weaker, insignificant character than Warner is. I wanted to love Adam, but then Warner was here and he was stronger, and hotter, and&mdash;ignoring his psychopathic tendencies&mdash;he felt like the more logical choice. MIND = FUCKED. I kind of loved him. Then there would be a passage that was like, "Oh, remember the time Warner tried to kill Adam in a slaughter house?" and I was like... oh... this guy is actually messed up. But then, Warner would be all deep and emotional and sexy and badass-y and I'd start drooling a little.Because of Warner's total fucked up-ness and his complicatedness, he was my favourite character. The others... I wasn't quite as keen on. Juliette is definitely a complicated character. She has every right to be messed up and a little depressed, but it did get frustrating after a while. Sometimes I just wanted to tell her to grow up and deal with it. Quit complaining, quit moping, and deal with the card you've been given.And then there's Kenji. Everyone and their mother loves Kenji. Me... not so much. Kenji is an arrogant, cocky loud-mouth. To a certain extent, I can see where people like him. If you ignore his arrogance, his blatant (and probably half joking) "everyone loves me and I'm so cool" attitude, he is certainly a fierce and loyal friend (and sometimes a little funny&mdah;see quote below). But I always have a hard time looking past the arrogance. Arrogance and too much cockiness are qualities that I have a hard time looking past. It's just who I am."Mmmmmmm," he said. "You're like a sexy, super-scary plant."&mdash;Kenji, Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi, Page 173 My only other problem with Unravel Me was the internal stream of consciousness. To a certain extent, being inside Juliette's head is awesome. The metaphors are insane and there are so many highlight-able passages. Tahereh Mafi's writing overall is gorgeous and flows really well. But there's just so much THINKING. I enjoyed parts of it, but in other parts I could help but skim skim skim. There's so much of Juliette just talking to herself, rambling on and on, or making weird observations about the world around her. I like it in small chunks, but in Unravel Me it did cross a little bit into 'too much' territory. If you were to cut out all of the stream of consciousness bits, I bet this book would have been 250 pages instead of 480.But overall, I did enjoy Unravel Me. It's true that a few things didn't quite sit well with me, but I enjoyed it as a whole. The twists and surprises were intense and super fun to read about. I LOVE having bombs dropped on me and Tahereh Mafi absolutely rocks at weaving those in. Also, that ending. THAT ENDING! I wouldn't say it's a cliffhanger, but it's extremely satisfying and you'll be totally wanting to read more. Juliette finally grows some balls and I was totally rooting for her!I have a feeling that book 3 will be epic.
    • 3/5
      I really want to give this a 2.5, but don't think it deserves a 2. I picked up and put down this book four times, and the only reason I finished it was because I got tired of logging on to Good Reads and seeing it *still* sitting there in my Currently Being Read novels.



      I wanted more from this book, and I'm sad to say the more lucidly present in society and sanity Juliet becomes the more the writing in the book changes from the writing in book one (and all the poetry jammed everywhere) that I was so deeply entranced and entrenched in.

      I feel like things weren't well plotted or paced. That there wasn't much growth going on with the characters, and there were these shocking reveals with no lead up and almost no reaction/growing through/thinking about/dealing with on the other side of them either. I loved the disjointed later chapters somewhere in the last 5% of the story, but I, also, feel like the definitive decision made in the last chapter has almost no lead-up to it.

      I want to know what happens at the end, but I really don't know if I have it in me to finish this series.
    • 5/5
      The declarations of love in this book will have the reader's hearts ripped open. This book is about self-discovery, friendships, love and boundaries. Adam, Juliette, and Warner all discover truths about their world and themselves. They are forced to look honestly into situations.

      "you have to deal with who you are and you have to figure out how to live with it." is a quote that exemplifies this book
    • 2/5
      teen fiction; paranormal/dystopian romance. Not as solid as the first in the series (shatter me) but I could see teens finishing this and wanting to read the third (if only to find out what happens in this terrible love triangle Juliette is caught up in). Personally, I don't buy into Warner's appeal--he's done so many bad things that even if you can see the good, you don't want to go anywhere near him. This second installment has some smoldery parts that I think would keep the teen girls turning the pages, but the first was far better.
    • 5/5
      This is the second book in the series and it was amazing. The series just keeps on getting better and better. In this book Juliette deals with learning how to live with her powers and testing what she can do.

      This was such a page turner book and it made me sad that I had to wait a while for the third book.
    • 4/5
      This is a joint review of Unravel Me and the Fracture Me novella (so this could get spoilery), because I feel like everything I have to say kind of involves both. I finally picked this back up last night after a busy several weeks and then went ahead with FM because I apparently wanted to be exhausted at work today from staying up until 3am.

      I DO find it hard to believe that Mafi says she's never seen X-Men. I definitely wasn't expecting the first book to turn out the way it did in that regard. But I'm not drawing a TON of parallels between the two, and the idea of people with powers isn't really new.

      And, yes, Juliett is still struggling to find that inner strength and she gasps a lot, but man, everything else makes up for it. I know a lot of people hate on the metaphors that are so prevalent in these books, but I honestly find them fascinating. There are so many that just kind of leave me breathless, and the visuals are stunning. I love the descriptions of emotions and inner conflicts, and the spectrum of characters and their motives. I love learning new, surprising (some more than others!) tidbits about different characters and how they came to be who they are.

      Then there are the scenes with Warner, and one in particular...oh man. He's such a complex character, with so much depth. If this didn't make me Team Warner, FM sure did, even if it was pretty hypocritical for him to tell Juliette he won't "be her project" when that's exactly what she was for him at first.

      Unravel Me kind of hinted that Adam has fulfilled his role in Juliette's story, in that he was her first love, and started her on the path to loving and accepting herself. But I think that's all he really has to offer her now other than perhaps friendship. The might still have some sort of bond, and they could certainly fight for the same side still, but I just feel it in my bones that Juliette pushing Warner away won't last long. Maybe that's just a whole lot of hope.

      Then, in Fracture Me, we see Adam at his douchiest. Half of his narration is nitpicking Juliette's every move, claiming that he loves her and at the same time saying she's too weak, she doesn't belong there helping them, or she's too this or that. It was super frustrating, especially after all of his claims in UM that he wants to make it work between them, that she's the strongest person he knows, etc. His inner thoughts in FM sure didn't reflect that. I don't dislike Adam, but he's definitely too flaky and I know he's just not the one to root for anymore. I can't fault him for prioritizing his brother, though. That's absolutely understandable. But for someone who makes such undying claims of love and loyalty all the time, it sure wasn't difficult for him to just be like, "Well, she'll be okay. We'll get her later." I love Kenji, but I would expect that sort of "the many over the one" attitude from him before I would have expected it from Adam. Kenji's reaction at the end of FM was actually really touching.

      So next is Ignite Me and the characters are all on such different paths now, so I'm super excited to see where this whole thing goes.
