Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

First of all, this book was amazing.  I couldn't put it down -- it was fast-paced and a thrilling read.  I loved the author's writing style -- the sentences that the character Juliette thought and then crossed off (you probably have no idea what I'm talking about -- but if you read the book you will). I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction, romance, action...  This book has made my Top Ten favorites list!!


Summary (from GoodReads):

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.
