[Rachel]

A few of us are reading Unravel me on the 29th July :) really looking forward to it!

[These Violent Delights]

Can I join?

[Neha]

Everyone's welcome to join us! I'm really excited to read this one, especially after reading the novella Destroy Me which was from Warner's POV. Can't wait to see what happens next!

[Marie]

Can't wait to read this book!

[Marie]

Chapter 16(view spoiler)[ after reading destroy me and now knowing that Adam isn't actually immune to her touch, It was his ability that allowed her to touch him. I can't choose what team I'm on... Team warner? Or team Adam? (hide spoiler)]

[Marie]

Chapter 28
(view spoiler)[ I get why Warner wants Juliette but why does Warner's father want her? Maybe he is going to use her to blackmail warner or something. (hide spoiler)]

[Marie]

Chapter 62
(view spoiler)[ so warner can absorb abilities? That's pretty cool.
I still can't believe his name is aaron. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't aaron.
I feel like a traitor for saying this but.. I'm leaning towards team Warner (hide spoiler)]

[Marie]

Ending
(view spoiler)[ I can't believe im on team warner now. During the first book I hated him and now I'm rooting for him.
I hope most of the people from omega point live and that they managed to save most of the civilians. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Wow Marie you got through it quick! :)

[Neha]

Sorry I'm starting this a bit late but starting it Right Now!

[Neha]

Ch 6- (view spoiler)[ And I though Juliette must be happy. Why does she have to feel so uncomfortable around everyone? Come on, good things Do happen. It could be because she's never been great at making friends or good social interactions. It's good that Kenji is helping her. We need awesome people like him more in the world :D. And WOAH! She pinned a big dude on the wall? That's cool! So, she can inflict pain and she's superstrong?? And what about Adam? I soo wanna know what's wrong with him. (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Ch-7 (view spoiler)[ OMG. Her power. She can destroy anything!
(hide spoiler)]

Ch-8 (view spoiler)[ I agree with Kenji. That really was scary and dangerous thing she did. And yes, that's something to be ashamed and apologized for. But this shouldn't make Juliette feel sorry for herself. Because like Kenji said "you have to learn how to control what you do—how to contain it. You have to deal with who you are and you have to figure out how to live with it. Just like the rest of us.” Seriously, he is my officially favorite character. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 15- (view spoiler)[ I really like this chapter because I love how she compares herself to Warner. Like Synonyms, but definitely not the same word. Ah the author is just sooo good at character depths. (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Ch 21- (view spoiler)[ Kenji is a real motivator. And okay, I'm kind of relieved that Juliette and Kenji can be best buddies without being awkward because Kenji made it sure that he doesn't like her that way. And Aww Warner, I saw you already in Destroy Me. (hide spoiler)]

Ch-23 (view spoiler)[ How in the hell could anyone be Not proud to break a brick??? I mean, what in the actual hell? That was SO cool. And yet she thinks she can somehow break Adam if she did not control??? NO! Don't look on the dark side lady. Stop.Being.Pessimistic!!! Gosh, is she gonna be so pessimistic for the rest of her POV? Just stop being so negative about things. Being Super Strenghthy is actually cool. Sure, I'm happy that you're not suddenly too proud of it, that won't be good, but please STAHP being afraid of it too. (hide spoiler)]

Ch- 24 (view spoiler)[ Wow. Deep Stuff. (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Marie wrote: "Chapter 28
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Dude, If you read Destroy Me, Warner knows that his father is going to kill Juliette and every other person who has the power. Warner wants to protect her, so he wants to warn her to stay away or run away or something like that. Because he can't, like, openly defy his father. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Up to chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ I'm enjoying this book so far, but Neha I agree with you Juliette doesn't half go on and on about herself, she is just so depressed all the time! Even when good things happen! Like she's with Omega Point, out of the asylum etc and she still isn't the slightest bit happy? ok, so she's got a lot of bad things going on but she can be so pessimistic at times! Yeah when she crushed that brick and then just sort of sat on the floor and moped about it. If I was Kenji I would have just given up on her by now! I don't know which side I'm on right now, Adam or Warner...Adam seems a bit needy, like he's just always there wanting Juliette stuck to his side...but obviously Warner is a bit of a psychopath...so i'm torn haha (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Ch 40- (view spoiler)[ *thousand curses* I'm freaking out. I'm COMPLETELY freaking out. Like WOW! What a plot twist! Never, ever, saw that one coming. Wait, does that explain why Warner is able to touch Juliette just like Adam? Just like the twin sisters are both healers?? O.M.G!!!! I wanna really know what happens next but I still can't get over the plot twist, I really need to calm down..and wait before reading next chapter.

And yes, of course, Juliette power is awesome. Really really dangerous, but powerful. Sometimes it feels like she's a nuclear reactor which can blast if a single thing went off. She's pretty emotional, and of course she pities herself a lot, but This time she actually let her power lose and accept (for a little while) this awesomesauce power of hers. Adam looked well enough to use his powers too, and OMG what if Warner can disable other powers too!!! Ok, I need to calm down. This plot twist was an explosion. (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Rachel wrote: "Up to chapter 27 [spoilers removed]"

Agreed with the needy and psychopath thing XD

[Neha]

There are soo many worth collecting quotes in this book. I'm underlining so many lines with my pencil :P.

[Neha]

Ch 54- (view spoiler)[ I always, always knew that Warner is never going to change. Then why the heck am I goin Team Warner? Ugh, so not fair. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 58- (view spoiler)[ OMG I really hope Kenji is alive. Not him, not his death. NO WAY!! And then Warner, ugh.. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

I'll be starting this tomorrow I believe.

[Neha]

Finished it. Its a lot better than Shatter Me, thanks to the plot twists and pacing. I wish I could read Ignite Me right now :P

[Heather]

I am going to start reading this right now!

[Heather]

Chapter 1 & 2 (view spoiler)[ I love the start of this book and the way it is written. The characters just make me want to keep reading. I love Juliette and Adam and I don't understand why people hate him. (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ I love how she is helping Adam survive in the ward but she doesn't even know who he really is. (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Ahh I just love Juliette as a character! She is just so complex as a character and you never know what to expect from her. I still don't like Warner though (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Finished (view spoiler)[ OMG I loved this book and can't wait to read Ignite Me! I will always be Team Adam though no matter what. Chapter 62 will be the death of me though. This book is very well written. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachel]

Finally finished it just now, I really really enjoyed it!! Can't wait to read ignite me! :D (view spoiler)[ Gah, I'm undecided which team I'm on...I don't dislike Adam but he's a bit too needy for me...and I really like Warner but he's a bit too much of a psycho! Its a tough choice. I was glad when Juliette stopped moaning and not being quite as depressed! That ending though! Warner saved her life, and silly Anderson! HATE him! I wonder what has happened to all the people from Omega Point, who will have died? Ahh it was soooo good! (hide spoiler)]

Wow, nice! Unfortunately, with school starting, I won't be nearly as fast as you were xD Feel free to post your thoughts in a spoiler, and I'll read them when I get there :) I'm glad you enjoyed.

[Mishma]

That's okay:) I know how hard it is to manage both reading and school.
I'll wait until you start, and we'll discuss it together.

Oh my gosh, my apologies. I completely forgot about this buddy read for a second :(
I just read three chapters: (view spoiler)[ and while I have to get back to work, can I just say that it was an emotional roller coaster? ALREADY. Tahereh Mafi's writing is as gripping as ever, and I cannot wait to keep reading. (hide spoiler)]

[Mishma]

How's it so far?

Hope this is better than the first book!

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

I'm going to join you on this one.. IF anyone remembers this little buddy-read xD

[Christina]

I remember! Just a bit behind on another book. I may start tomorrow if that's okay with you!

Tomorrow is perfect actually :) enjoy your book

[Christina]

Starting now and I'm already confused at the first paragraph:
(view spoiler)["Bright with cold hope and false promises about fond memories, real families, hearty breakfasts, stacks of pancakes drizzled in maple syrup sitting on a plate in a world that doesn't exist anymore"..... WTF? (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Finished chapter 13 (view spoiler)[i agree, the pros gets so confusing at some points. Adam is not immune to Juliette's touch 'coz he was working to stop her and she makes him lose control of his abilities. I didn't see that one coming? (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Wasn't able to get much reading done but I'm getting back into now :)

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[I think Juliette needs to take more effort to speak with her roommates and build her confidence! After all, they've got the same goal.

And can I mention another weird quote:

"His lips twitch up to flick the switch that lights the fire in my heart". Er... what? (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 6-(view spoiler)[just what is Adam hiding? What are his abilities?? Could they be to cancel out someones power somehow? But that doesn't explain Warner's ability to touch Juliet too. Doubt they have the same power too haha (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[LOL! this does happen when Mafi goes into her poetry/dreamland mode.. and about Juliette i understand her hesitation.. people have been fearing her and keeping their distance all her life.. it's going to take her a lot of time to be accepted no matter the effort (hide spoiler)]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 6-[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[i think you're onto something and you're not far from getting an explanation.. and interesting about Warner too.. maybe he's the opposite of Adam, he increases the abilities of others or something.. that will make sense of why he's able to touch Juliette (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 11-(view spoiler)[I felt sorry for juliette when the twins couldn't heal her because they can't touch her =( her power is definitely dangerous. I wonder what Kenjis training involves. And Adam needs to spill the secrets he's hiding about his powers! I need to know! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[I hope Adam and Juliette can both control their powers soon.. But it'll still take effort of Adam's part to put up his defence mechanism when he's about Juliette... which is just sad.

The only really good thing in Juliette's life so far and it comes at a price. I did feel Juliette was selfish after hearing about this and still getting close to Adam immediately after Castle left the room. I find myself caring about Juliette (unlike the first book) but she frustrates me sometimes!

Tbh, I'm waiting for Warner's appearance again! Haha (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Chapter 30 (view spoiler)[i like Mafi's words about hope <<<333 and the glimpse of Warner was a treat, i can't wait for their reunion.. but his father is in town and I have a bad feeling about this meeting (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

chapter 37 (view spoiler)[WARNER *HEART-EYES* every time he appears I lose my interest in the plot *_* I'm glad Juliette is taking initiative with their plan to meet Aaron's (Warner's) father. That was an intense meeting. (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Chapter 38 (view spoiler)[WHAAAAAAAAAAT? Warner and Adam are BROTHERS?? Is this for real? And why didn't Kenji let her kill him? I guess that would end the book too soon hehehe! Sometimes I think Kenji secretly likes Juliette. And Why kidnap Warner when Anderson SAID he doesn't care about him??? (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Ashwag
I might be slow in reading this one. Hope you don't mind xD
