Ignite me was supposed to be the last book. Shatter me should have been the trilogy but because it got such a big hype, Taherah Mafi wrote 3 more. That's also why writing style kind of changes in Restore Me
So glad you’re enjoying Shatter me series!! Ignite me is my fav and Defy me is my second fav! I honestly can’t stop thinking about the books and Warner and Juliette since I finished the series last month 😭❤️🔥 also I LOVE KENJI SO MUCH!! His friendship with Juliette is everything 🥹🫶🏻

My favorite books of the Shatter Me series are Ignite Me, Defy Me, and Unravel Me, though Restore Me was great too. I still remember how shocked I was at the end. And my favorite novellas were Destroy Me and probably Believe Me, though I do love Kenji. And yes, it was originally a trilogy with the 2 novellas, but then she added on years later. She added the last novella a year after the main last book and I'm so glad!

One of my favorites is Play With Me! I know… the title already sounds predictable. Haha! It’s a hockey romance and it was definitely a 5 star read for me! It does have a lot of spice since it has the friends with benefits and brother’s best friend tropes - BUT the story line underneath all of that is so sweet!! Garrett Anderson is one of my favorite book boyfriends now!

I know you would absolutely LOVE ‘the cheat sheet’ by Sarah Adams, its the cutest best friends to lovers and fake dating, football NFL x ballet dancer clean romance, Nathan is a famous model but is also in the NFL, Bree is an ex ballet dancer but had to quit when she was younger due to a car accident, so she became a ballet teacher instead and opened her own dance studio! Nathan and Bree are honestly my favourite book couple ever and i will never stop raving about this book, especially because its not talked about NEARLY as much as it should be. This book deserves so much attention i love it so much and i really think you will too! It’s just so cute and has the perfect summer vibes ive re-read it 3 times lmao
