Goodreads Synopsis: Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.
Rating: ***** (5 stars)
Review: This book was brilliant! I loved the concept and how Tahereh Mafi followed through. It was so original and kept me gripped the whole time. Juliette was such a well developed character and I was really happy that she had so much depth to her. I read this book in about a day and I can’t wait to continue the series with the novella Destroy Me and the next book, Unravel Me!
Recommendation: If you like dystopian books with romance as well as a strong and well written book I would suggest you pick up this book. 🙂
