![]() At the end of the workshop, each participant shared what they planned to do upon returning home. She offered this bleak assessment at the conclusion of a two-week workshop at the Highlander Folk School, a small, racially integrated institution perched in the hills of Tennessee. Given the hostility of the White community and the divisions within the African American community, she saw little hope for a direct challenge to Jim Crow. Only four months earlier, Parks had predicted that Montgomery was not ready for a major protest. ![]() Despite her years of activism, she had no way of knowing that her solitary act would inspire some fifty thousand African American residents of Montgomery to boycott the buses, a protest that would become one of the defining episodes of the civil rights movement.

However, I do know that this style doesn’t work for everyone, but I honestly feel if you keep with the book, you will grow to love it no matter your first impression. Mafi’s writing style is poetic and beautiful, allowing the reader to have a deeper understanding of Juliette’s thoughts and feelings. When the Reestablishment decides to use her as a weapon, Juliette must decide how to stop them from turning her into the monster she has been so afraid of becoming. ![]() Why? Because she can kill people with her touch alone and has no control over this power. Shatter Me takes place in a dystopian future, where our protagonist, Juliette, has been locked away for 264 days. I am numb, a world of nothing, all feeling and emotion gone forever. Review In A Nutshell: Shatter Me is an amazing series, one of my absolute favorites! However, I think this book is best for people who are willing to devote some time to getting into the writing style and getting to know the characters. ![]() |
