Shatter me is about Juliette who has not been in contact with anyone for 264 days. She was placed in an asylum by the Re-establishment for her curse/gift. One day she is told she is getting a cellmate and her world is forever changed. 
 I had mixed feelings about this book. I love how it was written. The book ran smooth, with few grammatical errors and had me on my toes on what would happen next. I found myself rooting for Juliette and cheering her on throughout the book. There was enough action and romance to keep me craving more. 
 I wish the author would have went into more depth about how the world changed and the significance of the bird. I felt the bird was briefly touched but not in enough depth to make me understand the symbolism. Juliette and Adam dream about this bird flying in the sky but that is all we know about the bird in the first book at least. I also thought this book was a rip off of x-men. The rebels hideout is led by a telekinesis and many others are introduced having powers. By the end of the book, I feel as though I was reading an adaptation of one of x-mens characters, rogue who can steal the 'life force' of others. 
 All in all, I did enjoy this book and will be definitely reading the next book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves xmen and romance books.
