The story revolves around Juliette, a young girl with a lethal touch who has been locked away for 264 days because she is viewed as a curse.

About this book

"Shatter Me" is the explosive, New York Times bestselling debut novel by Tahereh Mafi that launched a global dystopian phenomenon. Juliette Ferrars hasn't touched anyone in 264 days. The last time she did, it was an accident, but the Reestablishment locked her up for murder because her touch is fatal. In a world crumbling from environmental collapse and ruled by the tyrannical global regime, Juliette is suddenly released—not to be freed, but to be used. Aaron Warner, the ruthless young commander of Sector 45, sees her lethal power as the ultimate military weapon to crush the rebellion. But Juliette has other plans. Reunited with Adam, a boy from her past who is now a soldier under Warner's command, she finds the strength to hope again. Written in Mafi’s signature poetic style with striking strike-through text that reflects Juliette's fractured mindset, this novel is a thrilling mix of psychological struggle, forbidden romance, and high-stakes rebellion.
