The main character, Juliette, as well as two other characters grow up with abuse and neglect. Two common dystopian themes combine in this series: what the world could look like after humans wrecked the environment, and what could happen if a totalitarian government took over. Newer editions of Shatter Me come with the first novella, Destroy Me, which tells much of the story from the villain's perspective.

There is also follow-up trilogy with the same characters as well as four novellas. It's part of a trilogy that includes Unravel Me and Ignite Me. Parents need to know that Shatter Me is the first book in a dystopian romance series by Iranian American author Tahereh Mafi. Did you know you can flag iffy content?
