Watch Me (Shatter Me: The New Republic #1)

by Tahereh Mafi

Adam is going to be pissed. Warner is going to be super pissed. Juliette might already be crying. If I survive this, Kenji will probably kill me himself.

Instead, they’ve assigned me an elf who needs to stand on tiptoe to reach my neck. It feels like I’m being assaulted by a flower.

Doll Hands is a serial killer. My pants were getting tight over a serial killer. Kenji is going to love this.

“I love lasagna,” says Jeff. “Do you—do you love lasagna?” When she ignores him for the second time, I start to feel bad for the guy hoping to cut the organs out of my corpse. I sit up and turn to face him. “For what it’s worth, Jeff, I fucking love lasagna.” Jeff screams.

They’re aiming weapons in my direction I’ve never even seen. Huge, heavy, scary, neon shit. They look awesome. I want one.

He floated the idea of launching a covert mission into the Ark, but we all knew he wouldn’t leave Juliette in her condition.

Her condition??? IS SHE PREGNANT??????

But it’s not clear, Rosabelle Wolff, whether you deserve to live.

We have similar last names omg

She reminded me of Adam.

Oh fuck no

“One day that overzealous optimism is going to get you into trouble. You think I’m being hard on you. I am. It’s because I don’t want you to die, you idiot.” I smile at the memory. That’s as close as he ever comes to saying I love you, little brother.

What would Aaron Warner Anderson do? Because that’s the question I’m about to answer. And he taught me everything I know.”
