Review: A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi

Wow. What a powerful story! This book absolutely broke my heart, and I felt so angry and indignant for the things that Shirin had to go through. This book is definitely important, and one that I think everyone should read! I hated the pathetic, soul-sucking effort it took to finally make a single friend brave enough to sit next to me in public. Coming from a place of privilege, it’s hard to ever imagine what going through these things would […]

Review: Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 14, 2018 | 2 Comments

Okay, so I think the hype monster got me on this one. Or maybe because I was so blown away by the second and third books that I was just expecting more? I was disappointed in this one. I had sky high expectations, and it didn’t deliver. Honestly? I was kinda bored. I feel like not a whole lot happened – it was mostly just Juliette adjusting to life as Supreme Commander. There was little to no plot in this […]

Review: Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi

I’m not really sure what I was expecting with this book, honestly. I was a bit worried about it being Middle Grade, since I’ve never read MG before and I was afraid it’d be too sophomoric for me. But true to Tahereh’s writing, it was quite beautiful! The only thing really MG about this book is the characters’ ages and disposition. It wasn’t as flowery as her usual prose, but it was still on a higher level of writing than […]

Review: Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

WARNING: Possible spoilers! I’d rather be shot dead screaming for justice than die alone in a prison of my own making. Oh goodness, where do I even start? I don’t even know if I can write a review that can do this justice. This book got to me, just like Unravel Me did. So many times I was in danger of drowning in feels!! We found out in Destroy Me that there was a reason for the way Warner is. In […]

Review: Fracture Me by Tahereh Mafi

This novella was very hard to rate for me. While I still enjoyed it because it’s the Shatter Me world, Adam pissed me off. Really pissed me off. If I hadn’t been Team Warner already after Destroy Me and Unravel Me, this would have firmly secured me there 100%. I can definitely foresee lots of former Team Adam people changing sides, because I don’t know how anyone could stand to be Team Adam after this. Going into this novella, I truly […]

Review: Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

h e l l i s e m p t y. a n d a l l t h e d e v i l s a r e h e r e. HOLY. CRAP. SO MANY FEELS. I’m not sure anything I say could really do this book justice. But here goes… I liked Shatter Me. Liked, not loved. But I still wanted to read Unravel Me, although I wasn’t sure I was going to love it as much as […]
