"And yet I've known nothing like this terrible, horrible, paralyzing feeling. I feel crippled. Desperate and out of control. And it keeps getting worse. Every day I feel sick. Empty and somehow aching." 
 Shatter Me was the first book I remember truly disliking. I detested the writing style, the world building, the two-dimensional characters, the insta-lovey romance, and found the general plot to be utterly boring. The only vaguely interesting element of Shatter Me (imo) was Warner, but he was the king of all douches and I hated him. 
 I haven't completely joined the Warner bandwagon and am still iffy about continuing this series, but he does become more complex. You catch a brief glimpse of the childhood he lived, you see a sense of vulnerability in him and I would have loved to see more of that instead of endless pages of him fixating on Juliette and reading her journal. 
 I think he has a great foundation right now and I would love to see him continue to grow - to explore more aspects of himself (that aren't exclusive to his feelings towards Juliette), to see him overcome his upbringing and grow as an individual.
