it's almost
time for war.
Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.
She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.
Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.
In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

*SPOILER, if you haven't yet read the book, please close this window right now, unless you want a spoiler then go ahed*
What I feel about this book; Frustrated! I hate Juliette in the beginning. She's just so mushy, she can't stop whining and feeling sorry for herself. All she can think about is her feelings, and Adam, Adam, Adam. And there's also the Adam and Juliette drama. I really want to find her and throw the book to her face and tell her to drop dead.
But the brilliant Tahereh Mafi is so brilliant. She's so good with character development. That's what strengthen the book. It's plain and clear. You can see how Juliette turns from a sober damsel in distress into a girl version of Hulk. So in the end I went from wanting to punch her to wanting to hug her.
And not only with Juliette's character she's done the good job. Also for Adam and Warner. We can see how bottled up Adam is trying to figure out how to use his power and save his relationship with Juliette because apparently his power is the reason he can touch Juliette, he can "disable" Juliette's power when she's with him but the more he spent with her the less he finds her as a threat and if he lets his guard down he too can be hurt by Juliette's power. And then come the plot twist with Warner.
"I can’t touch the boy I love. But I can use my touch to strengthen the boy who tried to kill the one I love. No one, I want to tell the world, is laughing."Warner can touch Juliette (like it told in Shatter Me), in fact by touching her it's also making him stronger, because Warner is like a walking sponge who absorbs every power near him, in Unravel Me is where he figures out he has power. And in Unravel Me is also where our first impression of Warner is most likely being turned upside down. We see him as a ruthless leader, he's a torturer, he will do anything to get what he wants but there's more to the story. Being with Juliette makes him human. His love for her makes him human and I gain respect for him so much I fall in love with him. Yes! Warner I Love YOu! You hear me!
My other favorite is Kenji. Who doesn't love him. I love his humorous, goofy, self-confident character. He brings the color to the gray story. His comments keep me laughing and I feel like I should shout him out for saying what I want to yell at Juliette.
"“Bullshit.” He laughs a short, sharp, angry laugh. “All you do is sit around and think about your feelings. You’ve got problems. Boo-freaking-hoo,” he says. “Your parents hate you and it’s so hard but you have to wear gloves for the rest of your life because you kill people when you touch them. Who gives a shit?” He’s breathing hard enough for me to hear him. “As far as I can tell, you’ve got food in your mouth and clothes on your back and a place to pee in peace whenever you feel like it. Those aren’t problems. That’s called living like a king. And I’d really appreciate it if you’d grow the hell up and stop walking around like the world crapped on your only roll of toilet paper. Because it’s stupid,” he says, barely reining in his temper. “It’s stupid, and it’s ungrateful. You don’t have a hear him. “As far as I can tell, you’ve got food in your mouth and clothes on your back and a place to pee in peace whenever you feel like it. Those aren’t problems. That’s called living like a king. And I’d really appreciate it if you’d grow the hell up and stop walking around like the world crapped on your only roll of toilet paper. Because it’s stupid,” he says, barely reining in his temper. “It’s stupid, and it’s ungrateful. You don’t have a clue what everyone else in the world is going through right now. You don’t have a clue, Juliette. And you don’t seem to give a damn, either.”"
Though this book isn't ending in some big cliffhanger it still makes you want more.
