Imagine Me

The explosive finale to the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Shatter Me series. Juliette Ferrars. Ella Sommers. Which is the truth and which is the lie? Now that Ella knows who Juliette is and what she was created for, things have only become more complicated. As she struggles to understand the past that haunts her and looks to a future more uncertain than ever, the lines between right and wrong—between Ella and Juliette—blur. And with old enemies looming, her destiny may not be her own to control. The day of reckoning for the Reestablishment is coming. But she may not get to choose what side she fights on.

I’m still struggling to breathe, desperately searching his eyes for answers. Explanations. “Where?"

“Here, ” he whispers, pressing my hands to his heart.

To the world, she is formidable. To me, she is the world.

This. My bones against his bones. This is my home.

"This better be good, Kenji, or Warner is going to kill you, and I'm going to help him do it." 

"You know my name," he says softly. You've always known me, love. I've always known you. And I'm so-I'm so desperately in love with you"

“Here," he whispers, pressing my hands to his heart. "Home.”

the girl who shocked herself by surviving, the girl who loved herself through learning, the girl who respected her skin, understood her worth, found her strength

I imagine love, I imagine wind, I imagine gold hair and green eyes and whispers, laughter

But I know Warner wasn't trying to do anyone around here a favor. He doesn't give a shit about being a hero. He was only trying to save J's life.

Maybe because the stakes were higher. Maybe because we've never lost J before. Maybe because I've never seen Warner this lost or this broken. Angry Warner was better than this. At least angry Warner had some fight left in him.

That's all I ever was, I realize. A spare part kept in captivity. A backup weapon in the case that all else failed.

it’s giving rapunzel but god bless this man 

"I will stop fighting you," Warner says. "I will do exactly as you ask. Whatever you want. Just let her live." 

Scars all over his back, blood smeared across his front. He looks insane. But he's still moving, his eyes hot with rage and something else- Something that scares the shit out of me.

And then she turns to look at me, the animal still yipping in her ear, and I realize there are tears in her eyes. She is crying over a dog. 

Juliette Ferrars, one of the most feared, most lauded heroes of our known world, is crying over a dog. Perhaps no one else would understand, but I know that this is the first time she’s ever held one.

ONGGGGGGGGGGGG Okay but that ending??? I’m seriously not okay, send help. My feelings for Warner are SO complicated, I swear I need therapy. Can someone hold me? 🤸🏻‍♀️😭 And Juliette? She really said « main character energy » and owned every second of it. Her evolution is EVERYTHING LOVE U GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

sosososo good but like why did emmaline do that in the beginning like damn girl leave them aloneee like there hasssss to be a better way to go abt finding her and also i get the impression im supposed to like Adam after this but his actions in unravel me & early ignite me when he sees juliette again/ defy me& this book like i hated it. like no reason to put james through that. like booo get him off the page nowwww. very cute ending though.

The ending was pretty anticlimactic and very rushed, it felt as though in the last chapter it all just became a happy ending and there was no insight into what happened next 

Also there were so many parts unfinished like Adam basically sold them all out and then they’re all just happy with him at the end? And also Warner basically saves Juliette from the reestablishment by kissing her like a fairytale 

Pretty disappointed with the whole story and gutted I’ve spent so many hours reading this

i feel like the ending could have been done so differently and it felt a little bit rushed because it didn’t even feel like i was reading the last book of this series, something was just missing but i was still invested in the story and the plots but still not full 5 stars for me !

2.5 ⭐️ I honestly don’t know where this book was headed to. The plot went crazy and it just felt poorly-written and I definitely consider it my least favorite out of the series. It felt anti-climactic and open-ended. My heart hurt for warnette and I legit thought they wouldn’t end up together because of the stress. There’s so many unanswered questions about The Reestablishment that I hope will get answered in the novella, but I wish this was resolved in a much better way. Nevertheless, I love these characters as much as I broke for them despite the frustrating turn the events went I almost burst a blood vessel.

did i finish this series or did it finish me



p.s prayers for this to get adapted into a show with 6 seasons with perfect casting and sets AMEN

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/5 

the ending was just so rushed and the epilogue was the worst thing of this series only after the fact that Juliette was attracted to anderson. ew.

warnette tho 💛

Originally I wanted to rate this 4 stars, but now I want to give it a 3-3.5 rating due to lack of action building. A few major scenes felt anti-climatic to me when I expected to read a whole battle scene. The first scene I expected more from was Warner fighting Juliette and trying to get her back. It felt uncanny to read that Warner was fighting with Juliette, led her away to corner her, and then had a make-out session which was how he brought her back. The way he brought her back didn't seem fitting to me when I wanted to read a battle between them and Warner expressing his feelings for her to inspire a change in her mental state and bring various memories in and out of her mind that would lead to Juliette taking back her mind again. This change in the scene would've highlighted how difficult it would be for Juliette to get her mind back, considering that her mind was wavering for only brief moments throughout the entire book.

Another moment that felt very anticlimactic was how easily the Supreme Commanders were falling one by one. I understand that Juliette is meant to be an overpowered character, but there were moments where she was successfully subdued/contained for a few moments that rendered her powerless. That said, there could have been a more prolonged battle between her and Max. Max's character is not as strong as Evie's, but he was still willing to fight/contain Juliette to continue with Operation Synthesis. The battle could have lasted longer if the weapons imbued with Adam's power had been utilized more or on a larger scale. The book emphasized the urgency to prevent Adam's ability from being weaponized since all of their powers would be rendered useless. But Max and the rest of the scientists had successfully weaponized Adam's power (and Anderson injected a vile of it in his own body) that it felt disappointing that we didn't get to read how those weapons would have been strategically used against Juliette. Subduing Juliette's powers for even a limited of time would have allowed the readers to understand a new side to her and watch her excel in hand-to-hand combat.

While I do think the weapon wasn't used as much throughout the book due to their plan becoming more faulty from the time constraints and stress; it still felt upsetting not to read a proper fight scene that would have enhanced Juliette's character and brians. Overall, I still enjoyed the book but wished for more developed action scenes.

I’m honestly wildly sad that this is over. This series was amazing.

Absolutely amazing ending to the series. I wish she wouldn't have rushed the ending so much, I felt like there was a lot left unanswered. I wish we had gotten more from "Ella" at the end and seen what happened with Kenji and Nazeera. But overall, I think this became one of my favorite book series. Great read, so quick and easy to get immersed in. Love it! And Warner<3

** spoiler alert **
           i’d say maybe 3.5 stars but that’s mostly because i was confused, i probably should’ve read all the novellas ..anyways juliette being attracted to warners dad was weird but their reunion was great so idk how i feel about this book honestly had a lot of mixed feelings
