Unravel Me

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
Omega Point – the beginning and the end
Shatter Me, the first book in this series, ends with Juliette at Omega Point, a safe haven for others with powers like Juliette’s. Unravel Me picks up shortly after and it’s clear that Juliette’s journey is just beginning. Surrounded by people, but still isolating herself, Juliette has to come out of her shell and join her community before her tale can truly unfold. Additionally, as she grows, she has to find out how she fits in, not just with Castle and Kenji and the others at Omega point, but with Adam as well. Faced with challenges, from without and within, Juliette has to decide what it is she wants and what’s worth fighting for.
Juliette – the girl with power
While she spends most of the first book weak and helpless, Juliette finally learns to harness her power in this book. And I don’t mean just her supernatural power but also her inner strength. While, like in Shatter Me, she does spend a lot of time analyzing herself and her motives in this book, taking the reader through her every self doubt and second thought, I loved seeing into the inner workings of her mind and how she grew in this book. It a beautiful portrait of the inner working of her mind that’s shared with the reader and while, at the end, Juliette may not be happy, she is stronger.
Adam & Warner – love isn’t easy
Team Kenji?
Speaking of guys I love, Kenji once again steals the show in this book. I can’t tell you how much more I love this guy, and how much I want to know just exactly what this kid’s story is!!! Come on, Tahereh!!!! Throw us a novella about Kenji’s past!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Kate Simses once again hits it out of the park with her amazing portrayals of the varied cast of characters in this book. She’s mesmerizing and seamless as she shifts from the voice of a tortured Adam to a confused Juliette to a snarkily awesome Kenji. The audiobook is a PERFECT way to enjoy this title if your at all an audiobook fan!!

Team Kenji! Absolutely! I was frustrated with a lot of characters in this book, but Kenji did a brilliant job voicing my opinion of Juliette throughout this. Although I pulled my hair out quite a bit, I loved reading this book. 🙂 I can’t wait for the next one!

It’s been a while since I read the first one but wasn’t Warner the jackass in it? My, how things have changed. Seriously, I need to pick this sucker up! I do remember Kenji–my favorite characters, I think.

I don’t know. I definitely thought that the focus was more on Warner in this book than on Adam. The first third seemed to be a reexamination of Juliette’s and Adam’s relationship, but that quickly took a backseat when Warner entered the picture. Then, it’s all about his power and his motives and his feelings and determining if they’re real or contrived. I’m still solidly siding with Team Adam, but I do want Warner to have his HEA too.

Gah, this book. It’s SO GOOD! But I think I liked it more than you did. (I gave it 5 glowing stars.) I could NOT put that book down. Seriously. I couldn’t stop. I’m also Team Warner, but I thought he was more favorable in the book than Adam because all Adam did was follow her around and whine. I don’t know, that kinda annoyed me. I liked him in the first book, but I thought he was a little emasculated in this one and I was no longer interested in him. BUT KENJI! LOVE HIM! And I totally agree – A KENJI NOVELLA! THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME I WOULD DIE!!!! lol

well I would pick warner because he made me able to finish the first book. I don’t see the thing with adam at all. I only made it into 100 pages of this book and then stopped….I couldn’t take the whining ….I get that from kids and didn’t need to have juliette do it for so long 🙁 . My friends love this series

Ooh I’ve been meaning to read this one since it came out I can’t wait to see the progression in the characters especially Juliette! And I was also told this was great on audio and I’ve been listening to them while I work so I’ll be getting this one in audio too! 😀

Team Kenji! Although really I’m Team Warner. I thought Adam was dull as dirt in the first book. I’m hoping to get plenty of Warner action in this book. But maybe it’ll sway me toward Adam.

I’m really looking forward to the story and the action in Unravel Me, but I’m actually dreading all of Juliette’s pages and pages of inner thoughts and confusions. There’s only so many times I could deal with her self-questioning in the previous book. Anyways, TEAM WARNER too! Haha, Adam is boooring.

When I read Shatter Me, I was 104% TEAM ADAM. Warner was not for me, at all. And then… I read Unravel Me. Tahereh tore my heart out and made me so confused as to what I was thinking and I just… GAH. I started to really like Warner and care for him and I DON’T WANT TO. But I do… I was so confused as to what I was feeling after I finished Unravel Me that I sat for a good ten minutes just staring at the wall, thinking about everything and nothing. I don’t know what I’m going to do when book three comes out…

So happy you loved this book. I am so Team Warner too. But Kenji really did steal the show. He was so…forceful and more substantial this time around. I am obsessed with this series.

I loved this book. I read it last week and i still can’t get over how amazing it was. I really didn’t love Shatter Me so I was scared to read this one but I loved all of the character growth.
I am fully on Team Warner but I do understand what you are saying about Adam having a huge role to play. I felt like he was missing in the beginning because he was hiding that secret from her and by time he stepped up it was too late for me. You can’t push away the girl you love for that amount of time and then suddenly decide you want to try to make the touch thing work with her. I did feel for Adam but I found him to be boring, sure he is fighting for the girl he loves in the end but it just didn’t work for me. That special Warner chapter was amazing and I loved every second of him telling her how much he wanted her to be more than his friend and his feelings for her. I love how tortured Warner is and his entire character impressed me so much in Unravel Me that there is no turning back for me it is Warner or bust!
Thanks for the great review!

Just finished reading Shatter me yesterday, and though Mafi’s writing style sometimes made me wish Juliette would touch me (it got a lot better as the book went on), I loved it and can’t wait to read Unravel Me.
Um, so many Team Warners? Really? It’s sort of like Damon from Vampire Diaries. Dude may be hot, but he’s a freaking killer!!!! And evil!!! And most likely crazy!!! He shot that rebel posing as a soldier in the head in front of everyone! And what he did to Adam later in the book?!
I’m 110% Team Adam, I just love him, Kenji as well. Warner isn’t just tortured, he needs to be tortured after everything he’s done to so many people! Yeah, he may have a great backstory, which I want to find out, you know there’s something going on with dear old mom there, but a horrible past doesn’t give you a pass for the awful things you do later in life. And, yes, I know these are just fictional characters. But still!
