This book took me on such an emotional roller coaster. I was invested even every word written and did not want it to end. Shatter Me was written in a way that draws you in instantly and keeps you hanging on until the end. I laughed and cried during this book. This book has some dark moments that really broke my heart. The author managed to capture so many emotions and pour them into the book, which made me want to finish the book, even though I did not want it to end. Not everyone in this books gets a happy ending and while it was painful the author still made me hope.
I cannot wait to read the rest of this series and discover other books written by this author.
