plot
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.

My Thoughts
Everyone on TikTok said it was spicy, heartfelt, underated and the writing style was SO UNIQUE. in my opinion It was spicy, but not too spicy, It made my heart feel a few thing I guess, I think it was well rated, I mean 3.85 stars on Goodreads with 1,001,287 reviews is pretty split. And the writing style WAS unique but I don't know if its unique, good or bad
Here's a few of my "FAVOURITE" quotes
"Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat.
I wonder about how [raindrops are] always falling down, forgetting their parachutes as they tumble out of the sky toward an uncertain end. It's like someone is emptying their pockets over the earth and doesn't seem to care where the contents fall, doesn't seem to care that the raindrops burst when they hit the ground, that they shatter when they fall to the floor, that people curse the days the drops dare to tap on their doors. I am a raindrop.
another thing was HOW MUCH she thought about Adams blue eyes
IDark blue eyes dark brown hair sharp jawline strong lean frame.
His eyes are the perfect shade of cobalt, blue like a blossoming bruise, clear and deep and decided.
I've tried so hard to get those blue blue blue eyes out of my head but I know him I know him I know him.
...blue and bottomless...
I'd recognize your eyes anywhere in the world.
He still has the most unusually blue eyes I've ever seen.
...the deep dark blue of the eyes I've learned to swim in.
His natural tan offsets a pair of eyes a shade of blue in a midnight sky."
Okay girl WE GET IT you love, love, love his eyes, I didn't really need to know that though because the whole eyes thing (on the cover and in the book) is really unnecessary,
The somewhat unconventional style of writing actually kinda helped to portray Juliette's trauma, which was my favorite part of the book. Too bad it all disappeared when she fell in love Because that's just how the world works.
I really do wish we got to see more of the Juliette at the end but I hope we get to see more of her in Unravel Me the second book in the series!
I feel like this review was mostly negative but I really did enjoy the book there just happened to be quite a few things I would've changed.
4 stars for me
