Honestly, I was afraid to pick up the book that I knew would end one of the most epic trilogies I've ever read. Because the truth is I was afraid of a let down. I was afraid that after this massive build up, "Ignite Me" somehow wouldn't live up to everything that I wanted it to. 
 Because let's be real here, I adored, no, I LOVED, the first two books in the "Shatter Me" Series. And every part of me wanted this book to rip my heart up into tiny irreparable shards. That and I was afraid that Ignite Me would be EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED, and I'd just never ever be the same again as a person, a reader or as a writer. 
 And I was right. I'm not the same. I'm sooo much better!!! 
 This book was LIFE. For two days I binged this. Literally only coming out of my reading hovel for long enough to eat sustenance and then quickly return to my den like an anxious pack rat. 
 I LIVED AND BREATHED this book until I finished it. It was just that amazing and full of everything that I could have asked for. 
 This book unraveled me. It shattered me. It destroyed me. It ignited me. (Yes, all the puns are absolutely 100% intended.) I could jump onto tables and shout on top of mountains that Tahereh Mafi is a storytelling genius and even in doing those things none of them would ever be enough to thank her for this story or this series. 
 Juliette is my sprit animal. She grew so much throughout the series that there was just no way I couldn't identify with her in some way. At the start of book 1, Jules is so unsure of herself. By the end of book 3 she's so empowered and it's amazing to witness because that transformation is just so important, it's so surreal to have been on that journey with her from beginning to end. 
 Rather than list all the things I love about this book, because I could go on and on about the transparency, the realness of the characters, the rawness of emotion, the lyrical writing, the fact that the romance is ridiculously addictive and one of my favorites ever...I'm going to share with you my non-spoilery real-time reactions to "Ignite Me". I hope you'll pick up the series so you can join me in my raving nest of happiness over this book and the series as a whole! 
 1. No way!?! This suddenly just became absurdly sad. I totally did not expect that.
