The Milton Public Library’s teen book club has selected Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi as its August pick. “Ostracized or incarcerated her whole life, seventeen-year-old Juliette is freed on the condition that she use her horrific abilities in support of The Reestablishment, a post-apocalyptic dictatorship, but Adam, the only person ever to show her affection, offers hope of a better future.”
