Fracture Me (Shatter Me, #2.5) (Shatter Me Novella, #2)

by Tahereh Mafi

[Joséphine]

Initial thoughts: Underwhelmed pretty much sums up my thoughts. Fracture Me comes off as a novella that was written merely for the sake of it. It has little rhyme or reason to exist. In the same vein as Destroy Me (#1.5), Fracture Me was written from an alternative perspective to Juliette. This time round it wasn't Warner's though; it was Adam's.

The thing is, Fracture Me hardly brought anything new to the table. Readers already know what happened in Unravel Me (#2). Yet Fracture Me was bent on providing a recap, albeit from the perspective of Adam. Since I hardly gained any new insight into the character of Adam, I felt it was all very superfluous.

The only reason this novella earned 2 stars instead of 1 or even 0 is Mafi's consistency. Her writing style remained solid and I did believe that the story was told from the perspective of Adam. Sadly, I ended up liking him much less than I did in the previous books.
