The thrilling second installment in New York Times bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series.
It should have taken Juliette a single touch to kill Warner. But his mysterious immunity to her deadly power has left her shaken, wondering why her ultimate defense mechanism failed against the person she most needs protection from.
She and Adam were able to escape Warner’s clutches and join up with a group of rebels, many of whom have powers of their own. Juliette will finally be able to actively fight against The Reestablishment and try to fix her broken world. And perhaps these new allies can help her shed light on the secret behind Adam’s—and Warner’s—immunity to her killer skin.
Juliette’s world is packed with high-stakes action and tantalizing romance, perfect for fans of the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard and the Darkest Minds trilogy by Alexandra Bracken.
Ransom Riggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, raved: "A thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love, the Shatter Me series is a must-read for fans of dystopian young-adult literature—or any literature!"

I'm going to be completely honest with myself and say I'm having difficulties with reviewing this book, mostly for how much I hated its prequel. I'm giving my best to be objective and put aside how much I hated Shatter Me, but it's hard to keep forgetting all the moments I wanted to strangle Juliette for being such a weakling and a crybaby, or when I almost died from inconsistency in the plot. On the other hand, it induced a sense of respect towards the author for doing such a nice character build-up and making me get interested in her trilogy again, after giving her first book 1-star rating.

Unravel Me starts with events from Juliette’s perspective two weeks after she escaped with Adam and Kenji from Sector 45 and Warner’s regime. She’s in Omega Point now, an underground shelter for people with abilities like hers, led by a man called Castle. Juliette still afraid of herself, afraid of her abilities and afraid of hurting anyone else. Adam is the only one who can give her comfort of touch, but recent researches and testings show he also has an ability, and Juliette’s touch might not be so unharmful anymore. If it’s time for Juliette to stop feeling sorry for herself and start using her ability to help, it's now: Warner’s soldiers are looking for something and they are on a good way to getting dangerously close to Omega Point.

This book, as well as Mafi’s writing,  changed in so many ways. First, and the thing that I liked the best is that there are many more interactions between other characters. Readers are no longer trapped in Juliette’s head and seeing only her half-crazed thoughts and feelings for Adam, but also a series of new interesting characters and their stories.

I really love Kenji and he’s just brilliant with his humor and especially after getting Juliette in line. I think I owe him a reason for continuing these series. I always love reading about funny and sarcastic characters who cover their pain and insecurities with flawless humor but are actually cinnamon rolls inside.

Warner was the only character I actually liked from the first book, and now, with him getting a whole new dimension, I just really really love him. His open love for Juliette is super cute, and I love it that he knows what is he like and he doesn’t want to be changed – he wants to be accepted. I always have a soft spot for damaged evil masterminds, but there is just something different about Warner.

Juliette’s character started going into an actually promising direction. When I started the book and had to read chapters from her sorry-ass whiny perspective, I almost DNF-ed, but with the book coming to an end, there is a change in her, and hope for, one day, becoming something stronger. She’s still not my favorite character, but I like the direction in which Mafi decided to take her character development.

Plot was again, the weakest part this book had to offer. It watered down to Juliette-Adam drama for the first third of the book and then some operations that took waaay long to take part. I still don’t understand how Juliette *minor spoiler* just left at the end of the book, but okay. I get it, this book was mainly focused on Juliette’s character development and so, but still…

I’m kind of glad I decided to pick this up, mainly because of Warnerette, but who knows, maybe Juliette has still something else left to show.
