Defy me
Description
Juliette and Warner’s story continues in the thrilling fifth installment of Tahereh Mafi’s New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series.
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 novel in the series.
And don't miss Watch Me, the first book in a new series in the Shatter Me universe set ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment, on sale in April 2025!

Just when Omega Point (resistance) members think they've accomplished their goal of overthrowing the megalomaniacal Reestablishment, Supreme Commander Juliette is kidnapped and the group is thrown into chaos: some trying to escape imprisonment, others searching frantically for their leaders, and two trying desperately to recover the truth of their lives in order to find their way back to each other. The follow-up to Restore Me (2018), of the Shatter Me series, is written with precision and a sense of urgency, each chapter a strobe light-like moment in the lives of the teens trying to save their world. These short, intense chapters ping-pong between Kenji, Juliette, and Warner, who share narration duties, and the prose moves readers swiftly from crisis to crisis. Mafi is also able to inject some humor, and the love story between Juliette and Warner is as significant a plotline as the group's attempt to thwart the despots who birthed them. Even though some backstory is skillfully shared throughout, readers will need to start at the beginning of the series to experience the full impact.--Cindy Welch Copyright 2010 Booklist
