This review was done in conjunction with Amy and Christina at The Book Hookup. 
 Let's take a minute to all-out-fangirl over...ummmm,discuss the amazing Tahereh Mafi.. 
 Ana: I was lucky enough to meet Tahereh during a book signing and, let me tell you, she is awesome! I may have gushed shamelessly!! She's funny and sweet and kind and quirky (in a good way)!! Her tweets leave me laughing every time! Of course, her writing ability amazed me from the moment I opened Shatter me and began to read. I can't say enough about her talent...her ability to speed up my reading or slow it down with her word choice, her ability to make me love the unlovable and, of course, her ability to make my heart jump out of my chest whenever she feels like it!! Luv, luv, luv her!! 
 Christina: Only a minute, huh? Basically, out of all my favorite authors, she's the one I'd probably like to meet the most. On twitter she's a freaking rockstar and I could only imagine she's a riot in person as well. As for her writing, she's a flippin' word ninja. Her turn of phrase and magical prose makes every page feel like a physical entity, living and breathing and exposed to the masses. It's so easy to fall head- and heart- first into this crazy dystopian world she's created. 
 Amy: How is it even possible to adore some author person you've never met before?! Yeah, well trust me, it's totally possible and Tahereh Mafi is one incredibly talented and uniquely hilarious lady! Her writing embodies expressive brilliance, it really does. I've never really experienced a writing style quite like hers before. I found myself so absorbed in her words as I read through both Shatter Me and Unravel Me.. Yes, part of it was her awesome characters and part was the intriguing, action packed dystopian world she created, but most of the reason I'm so fascinated with her books is simply just because of her. Her amazingness radiates in all that she does. And if you're not already following her on twitter, you're losing out. Seriously. Not only is she receptive and appreciative to her readers, but she also has probably the best sense of humor ever! I mean, how can you not ACTUALLY LOL when you're scrolling through your twitter feed and see this;

 And then she says stuff like this; 
 i love you guys. i don't even know what else to say. i think i'm just legitimately in love with all of you & it's complicating my love life.

 OMG WE LOVE HERRRRRRRRRR! 
 The title and cover.. 
 Ana: I may know a person or two who aren't fond of the new covers but I find them intriguing. There's a lot going on in this cover even though at first sight it may seem simple and I think that represents the book very well. The title is perfect. This whole story is about Juliette's life and how easily things can become unraveled even when you think they're heading in a good direction. 
 Christina: I love them both. I'm not really sure what the eye has to do with the book, but damn I think it's pretty to stare at. I think the title perfectly captures the mood of the book. For me, it seemed as though several characters went through a major transformation in this book, and it almost felt like they're being pulled apart layer by layer and tugged in a billion different directions, especially Juliette. 
 Amy: Alright, I guess I'm gonna be the outcast here.. The eye scares me! I'm sure there's a perfect explanation behind it's meaning and all that, but I just don't know.. The colors on the cover are gorgeous, and the book is beautiful just because of the epic-ness of it's contents, but I'm just not a fan of the eye. The title on the other hand is perfect. 
 QUICK! Don't think! Team Adam or Team Warner?! 
 Ana: UGH!! I so want to be Team Adam because it's the right thing to do. He's good and wonderful and kind. And there will always be a place in my heart for him. But I think that if may be a slightly smaller place than the one reserved for Warner and his broken self. I can't help but want comfort him and help him be the man he wants to be. The good is there! It's just so buried due to the circumstances of his life that it's difficult to see. But I believe...and I'll admit to being Team Warner...mostly! lol 
 Christina: Dear Adam, A part of me will always love you and your "Come here" made me hit my flutter button quicker than I could bat an eyelash, but my heart undoubtedly belongs to Warner. Admittedly, I do have a thing for the more "evil" characters, so there is that. (The proof is in the fact that I have an "Apparently I lust the crazy dudes" shelf on Goodreads dedicated to all the slightly unbalanced male characters I carry a torch for.) I was so intrigued by him in Shatter Me, puzzled by his persona and attracted to his need for Juliette. But after having read Destroy Me and Unravel Me, my lust-filled thoughts attraction to him has only grown more intense. He's deliciously evil and manipulative, but it's in his deeper layers that you find his vulnerability and swoony self. And all I can say to that is HOT. DAYUM! 
 Amy: So first I was all like, TEAM ADAM! I LOVE ADAM. OMG ADAMMMM! Then about halfway through Unravel Me, I found myself starting to wonder more about Warner.. And then he showed up.. And won me over a little bit with all his smoldering hotness and always saying the "right thing" at the "right time" nonsense (Lol).. But then Adam popped back in and I'd sigh and seriously want to hug the poor kid (and maybe do some other stuff too.. *winkwink*).. So, to sum up those last couple sentences of my rambling gibberish, I'M TEAM ADAM (AND WARNER)! *sigh* How do you chose? I mean really? 
 Our thoughts on Unravel Me.. 
 Ana: OMG! This series just gets better and better and when you start with an incredible first book it's actually shocking that it's even possible! But it is! I devoured this book! There's more of everything here...more love, more hate, more evil and more feels!! All the feels to be exact. I never knew from page to page what I was headed towards...would I be happy, sad, angry, surprised...or would I be fanning myself (yes, there's a little heat in there as well). The only consistency is the fact that I flailed throughout the whole thing. The writing, once again, was poetic! Ms. Mafi is an expert wordsmith, she weaves those words so well that you can't free yourself from the imagery. As they did in the first book, the characters had me torn...who do I love, who do I hate...many times it was a fine line! Truthfully, I can't say enough about this series. I can only tell you that you must read it. Yes, you must! 
 Christina: There are no words really. Truly, everything that I could possibly say here wouldn't come within a minuscule percentage of how this book- or this series so far- made me feel. With the turn of every page, you'll only feel yourself falling further into the novel. It's almost like you become a part of their story, fighting with these band of heroes in their personal struggles and uniting with them in the battle between good and evil. So much happens in Unravel Me and the pacing keeps your heart racing until you're left breathless and filled with emotion at the end. Twist and turns and secrets and revelations are plentiful in this second installment, and it was almost more than my little heart could take. Read it? Of course, why haven't you already?! 
 Amy: I really thought Shatter Me was one of the best books ever... and it is! But, I have to say Unravel Me was even better! I am so mesmerized by Juliette's character. I love her. This girl is put through every bad situation life could possibly throw at a person and she's somehow still standing. Warner and Adam = 2 of the most well written male characters ever. And don't let us forget about Kenji! He may be a secondary character but man can he steal a scene! So we have this beautiful, lyrical and poetic prose overflowing from this book, an amazing set of kick-ass characters, an all consuming love triangle that will quite literally knock your socks off and this unique plot, a dystopian backdrop and a plot twist that will crush your heart a little. If you're looking for a series that contains all of those things plus a story that just keeps getting progressively better and more complex with each turned page, you need these books. GO NOW! 
 Without spoilers.. Describe your reaction to the "infamous" chapter 62.. 
 Ana: Oh...my...*grins*...this is just...wow...*starts to feel flushed*... 
 That's really all I can say. This chapter made me happy in all the right ways and left me longing for more. 
 Christina: All I can say is *unintelligible vowel sounds.* No, but seriously, it fried my brain. I loved it so much that I had to have it as an inscription in my signed copy. (Also, let it be known that I'm the originator of using Chapter 62 as a verb. You can ask my KP, Stacee, who said that Tahereh laughed when I asked for it and said that she had never thought of it as a verb, and that she loved it. [I may have flailed and preened a bit about this.] If I would've known others were going to do it too, I would've trademarked it. LOL) I also have pictures of this chapter that I keep on my phone to use when I need a UNF-pick-me-up. 
 Amy: Umm.. DAMN. So if that's preemptive of what's to come between these two characters in the near future (aka book 3) then I should probably start my search for some fire proof gloves, goggles, maybe a little lap apron thingy and a chair now because all that wicked-hot-crazy-intense chemistry will literally ignite the book and combust in our hands. Good lord, I can't wait! I had to give myself a time out after reading Chapter 62.. It was *THAT* hot! 
 So, it's pretty unanimous that our verdict on this book is... WHY HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY READ IT?! GO, GET ON THAT NOW. LIKE, RIGHT NOW!
