Summary
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。

One of the best “dystopian” novels I’ve ever read。 The writing style is so unique and enthralling。 Can’t wait to read more！

Honestly， this book was alright。 I thought Juliette’s character was quite interesting and I enjoyed the very unique writing style。 Everyone else says the rest of the books in the series get better， so I will continue to read。 The characters need more development and the romance seems a little forced。 （also Warner is SO toxic in this book。

Una novela muy atrapante y fácil de leer。 Le pondría 3，5。 Solo porque la magia que tenían los protagonistas logró mantenerme intrigada。 Juliette y Adam son muy tiernos， pero como toda novela juvenil se avalanzan uno sobre el otro con ese ímpetu adolescente demasiado esperado。 Es un mundo distopico que no se explica mucho， porque Juliette， la narradora， no sabe hace 3 años cómo es la vida en el exterior。 Pero al ir finalizando se va conociendo un poco cómo es que funciona en parte este mundo del Una novela muy atrapante y fácil de leer。 Le pondría 3，5。 Solo porque la magia que tenían los protagonistas logró mantenerme intrigada。 Juliette y Adam son muy tiernos， pero como toda novela juvenil se avalanzan uno sobre el otro con ese ímpetu adolescente demasiado esperado。 Es un mundo distopico que no se explica mucho， porque Juliette， la narradora， no sabe hace 3 años cómo es la vida en el exterior。 Pero al ir finalizando se va conociendo un poco cómo es que funciona en parte este mundo del Reeetablecimiento y las otras áreas que para el final aun no sabemos cuantas son o qué esperar de ese mundo desconocido y sin tiempo determinado。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Only 2 things made me plough through this mess of a book; the characters and the plot。 I suppose those are ultimately the main takeaways from any novel but the writing was just too， for lack of better words， flowery and barf-worthy， at times。 The way Juliette describes the things around her made me wanna throw up， I shit you not。 I suppose all the crossing outs and the repetitive words are an acquired taste but I could barely stand the mess before my eyes; especially on ebook。Speaking of messes， Only 2 things made me plough through this mess of a book; the characters and the plot。 I suppose those are ultimately the main takeaways from any novel but the writing was just too， for lack of better words， flowery and barf-worthy， at times。 The way Juliette describes the things around her made me wanna throw up， I shit you not。 I suppose all the crossing outs and the repetitive words are an acquired taste but I could barely stand the mess before my eyes; especially on ebook。Speaking of messes， Juliette's insta-romance with Adam was just ？？？？ I mean I get how they were there for each other and all that but sis literally popped the four letter word barely weeks（？） into being with each other LMAO uh you go girl ？？ That aside， I must say that I can see 13y/o me blush and giggle at the whirlwind romance and the flowery writing style。 Alas， a much more mature 18y/o can't help but shudder at the constant kissing and swooning Juliette and Adam manage to do despite being on the run （AND TRYING TO DO THE NASTY WITH YOUR BROTHER NEXT DOOR TOO？？？ SHAME ON YOU， ADAM）Surprisingly enough， I did enjoy the actual story line。 The characters were quirky （in a good way） and somewhat complex， especially Warren， who had me intrigued the moment he was introduced。 Although I sense a love triangle brewing， which I am not keen on， I definitely will be reading the second book because I am a creature of curiosity。 Hopefully the writing style is more bearable :D 。。。more

Juz dawno żadna książka nie pochłonęła mnie do tego stopnia。 Bardzo przypomina mi serię "Czerwona Królowa"， ale głównie ze względu na podobne emocje， które we mnie wywołuje。 Po prostu uwielbiam bogaterów。 Wydają się być logiczni， czuję do nich ogromną sympatię （poza Warnerem oczywiście）。 Styl pisania autorki to złoto。 Aż ciężko mi opisać cały ten zachwyt， który mam w sobie。 Jednak połączenie fantastyki z romansem to coś co lubię。 Kolejny raz się o tym przekuję 。 Bardzo kibicuję głównej bohaterce Juz dawno żadna książka nie pochłonęła mnie do tego stopnia。 Bardzo przypomina mi serię "Czerwona Królowa"， ale głównie ze względu na podobne emocje， które we mnie wywołuje。 Po prostu uwielbiam bogaterów。 Wydają się być logiczni， czuję do nich ogromną sympatię （poza Warnerem oczywiście）。 Styl pisania autorki to złoto。 Aż ciężko mi opisać cały ten zachwyt， który mam w sobie。 Jednak połączenie fantastyki z romansem to coś co lubię。 Kolejny raz się o tym przekuję 。 Bardzo kibicuję głównej bohaterce， jestem niezwykle ciekawa jej dalszych losów， dlatego od razu czytam kolejną część。 Mam nadzieję， że się nie zawiodę。5/5 （ale gdybym mogła dałabym więcej） 。。。more

This is probably the worst book I have read by far。 1。 Juliette remembers going to school but now there is no school。 So what happened between that 5 or so year period？？ It isn’t even like the handmaid‘s tale。2。 Climate change thing is never explained。3。 Love interests are either psychotic or nasty4。 The powers thing is only introduced at the end as a frickin rebellion （instead of realistically implemented like red queen）Also the metaphors were really getting on my nerve。I have never rated a boo This is probably the worst book I have read by far。 1。 Juliette remembers going to school but now there is no school。 So what happened between that 5 or so year period？？ It isn’t even like the handmaid‘s tale。2。 Climate change thing is never explained。3。 Love interests are either psychotic or nasty4。 The powers thing is only introduced at the end as a frickin rebellion （instead of realistically implemented like red queen）Also the metaphors were really getting on my nerve。I have never rated a book so low before ugh。。。 。。。more

I about choked on all the metaphors in this book that made no fucking sense。 Some of them were so silly。 The writing style was。。。different。 Cringe dialogue， but I recognize that I’m no longer the target audience， so whatever。 I don’t normally like dystopian， but it was entertaining enough for me to want to continue the series lol。

Julliette has been through a lot。 It's sad that she was abused when she was young and held captive。 Warner is crazy in love with her which is crazy despite him being addicted to her journal。 I feel like this book is a fast read。 I love this book Kenji is so funny and has a great sense of humor。 Julliette has powers that can kill people with her bare hands， and thinks she is。。。。 well， crazy Julliette has been through a lot。 It's sad that she was abused when she was young and held captive。 Warner is crazy in love with her which is crazy despite him being addicted to her journal。 I feel like this book is a fast read。 I love this book Kenji is so funny and has a great sense of humor。 Julliette has powers that can kill people with her bare hands， and thinks she is。。。。 well， crazy 。。。more
