SHATTER ME / Tahereh Mafi reading levels

SHATTER ME is a great book, but the intense narrative isn't going to be for everyone.  The main character, Juliette, presents a jagged, disjointed face to the world and I advise everyone to read a few sample pages.

UNRAVEL ME

 4.36 avg rating — 22,493 ratings

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point but she's not finding it easy to adjust. No one is trying to kill her, which is nice, but everyone is afraid that she'll kill them... by accident, if she so much as brushes up against.

There's much angst in the book, and a surprising turn of events when Juliette finds herself attracted to no one other than Warner!
