Summary (from Goodreads):
In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The
Reestablishment by seducing Warner- and then putting a bullet in his shoulder.
But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of…
Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must
do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any
mention of rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as eve, his
first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji,
the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme
Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s
clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot
allow.
Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me,
Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader
of Sector 45.
So I have to admit that i'm totally in shock with Warner right now. I just can't believe that he isn't the person I thought he was. He seems so sweet and kind in this novella that it leaves me feeling really, really, REALLY sad for him. Especially now that he's actually in love with Juliette. I mean come on, Warner?! Don't make this more difficult than it needs to be...
We come to learn a lot about Warner in this novella, showing a side of his that we never knew was even there. Turns out he's not as heartless a we thought! It definitely leaves me wondering what is going to happen with him and Juliette. Maybe there is something there after all??? Maybe she's the one to change him and make him a better person. Or maybe not!
My thoughts? Keep dreaming Warner! Juliette and Adam BELONG together!!!
