Tara’s comments from the Readers Looking To Rant About Trashy & Wonderful YA/NA Books group.

Oh and the power system is never explained. Basically the girl has powers where she can destroy anything/anyone she touches and there are others like her. But the author never explained why there are even powers in this world. And the worldbuilding was horrendous. We’re told that there’s some type of war going on and the faction the antagonist belongs to is ruling the world. But like, why is that the case. Like what happened to the world, why is this faction in charge, what happened to society, why the duck are there people with powers, etc

The male love interest was bland as hell and the romance between him and the lead had no chemistry. I still don’t know why he and the girl fell in love cuz there was no buildup to it. They just fell in love, that’s it.

The writing style was boring. The main character is mentally unwell cuz she was locked up for 3 years and had no contact with anyone so she’s kinda insane. So whenever the character was expressing her thoughts on something, the author would strike through the text to show that those thoughts were her inner feelings. At first the style seemed sorta unique cuz of the strike through but it got annoying after a while (and plus the author completely forgot about them later on in the book). Oh, and the author tried way too hard with the purple prose

There was little to no worldbuilding and the characters were one dimensional with no depth

Literally everything about it

God the goodreads app sucks

The book was like moldy pizza

The worst YA book I’ve read recently is Shatter Me

Goddamm moldy pizza
