I recently have read an amazing series by Tahereh Mafi, well the books in the series that have been written anyway. I am anxiously awaiting for the next book to be written, but the first two are called 'Shatter Me' and 'Unravel Me'. It is a story about a girl who has a lethal touch, literally. If her skin comes into contact with another human being, she could kill them. Not really sure what to do with her after a tragic accident, society throws her in a mental institution where she has absolutely no human contact for hundreds of days. All she has to keep her sane is a little notebook that she can write her thoughts in, and a very small window in her cell that she can get a glimpse of the sky. Her world is then turned upside down yet again when all of a sudden, they give her a cell mate.
This was a very interesting read for me. The authors style of writing is unlike anything I have seen before. I thoroughly enjoyed these books and would highly recommend them. However, there are some adult scenes that are probably not appropriate for younger readers. These are categorized as Young Adult, but I would probably not recommend them to anyone younger than high school age.
