About the Book

Book Synopsis

Juliette and Warner's story continues in the thrilling fifth installment of the globally bestselling phenomenon Shatter Me: Series One.

Juliette Ferrars isn't who she thinks she is.

Nothing in her world is what it seemed. She thought she'd finally defeated The Reestablishment. She thought she'd finally taken control of her life, her power, and her pain. But Juliette has only just begun to unravel a lifetime of lies, and she finds herself faced with a familiar choice:

Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

This time, she's not alone. Stronger, braver, and more resilient than ever, Juliette will fight for life and love with her friends by her side--but first, she has to survive the war being waged against her mind:

She has to remember who she was.

Narrated by Juliette, Warner, and Kenji Kishimoto, this gripping novel will leave readers hungry for Imagine Me, the sixth and final novel in Shatter Me: Series One.

From the Back Cover

I'm adrift, suspended in a pool of senselessness, currents pushing me to the surface of something--an emotional revelation--that trembles into existence only to evaporate, seconds later, as if it might be terrified to exist.

This goes on and on and on and on and on
Lightyears.
Eons.

Over
and
over

whispers of clarity

g a s p s of oxygen

and I'm tossed back out to sea.
