TAHEREH MAFI
(Book 3 in the Shatter Me series)
Synopsis:
With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn't know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won't keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that's not all he wants with her.

My Review: Okay, I am so glad this isn't the last book in the series like it originally was. The ending is so open-ended. The character development and Mafi's writing (and Warner, of course) are my favorite parts about this series. I love Juliette's progression from the nervous, scattered character we met in book 1 to her current strength and resilience.
Also, she and Warner are adorable. I live for their interactions. Kenji is pretty amazing too.
