![]() Charisse Moritz’s writing style is sublime, and there were some lines that were so good that I had to stop and re-read them over and over again. I was totally sucked in, and I can’t wait to read it again, and to read the sequel and learn about the other characters. ![]() I can’t recall the number of times I laughed and cried and screamed at this book. It covers a range of very serious topics with grace and touching delicacy, and while you hope a YA reader never has to experience these things, if they do, Taz and Tia are amazing fictional role models. I think everybody should have a read of this poignant story. If you’re wondering if this is the right book for you, it is. There are times when they each face tough situations that no one their age should have to deal with, and even though their responses aren’t always perfect or sensible, they learn and grow so beautifully throughout the story and that makes the novel that much more powerful. Both POVs are distinct and heartbreaking in their own ways, and I WISH it was possible to reach through the pages and just give both of them a reassuring hug. My initial concerns about yet another shallow, superficial female MC were blown away to reveal a young woman worth of the title of the novel’s heroine. It took me a good few chapters to appreciate Tia after the way the story opened, but it happened and before I knew it, I adored her. Her way with words sucked me in, and I felt like I was in Tia and Taz’s heads. Now, that isn’t to say that these themes aren’t in Shatter, because they are.Ĭharisse Moritz is an incredible writer. The bits that pull on and glorify the darkest parts of adolescence and humanity in general. Normally, there are parts of YA romances that make the ethical parts of me cringe in horror. It has been the longest time since I have truly enjoyed a YA book this much. Why, why, why could this not go on forever? I will start with the only thing I didn’t like about Shatter: it ended. But, right now, as I curl up in a ball and fall down the rabbit hole of post-amazing-book-feels, I want to put my thoughts into words. Normally, I would take a day or two to gather my thoughts, especially after finishing a book I was so absorbed in. I finished Shatter all of five minutes ago.
