Author: Tahereh Mafi
Publisher: HarperCollinsPublishers/2018

By now a few days have passed ever since I finished reading this book, yet my first reaction to this book still remains the same. The story follows Juliette, Warner, Kenji and the rest of the survivors of omega point after they have killed Anderson and Juliette has become the new supreme commander. Restore Me shows how Juliette tries her best to stay in power.

"I cannot let the broken girl inside of me inhale all that I've become. I cannot revert back to another version of myself. I will not shatter, not again, in the wake of an emotional earthquake." Juliette has been emotionally weak and that she doesn't want to give up on herself, also not do the same mistake again.

"Loneliness is a bitter, wretched companion. Sometimes it just won't let go."  Loneliness will always be there, accompanying our mind and our heart. Even if we're in a room full of people, we often feel as if we're alone.

In my point of view, I think that it is not wrong to be emotionally weak, some people can't control their emotions and that is totally fine. However, we should still try our best to not let our emotions control ourselves because there will be consequences. Being emotionally weak is often accompanied with the feeling of loneliness. This is because when your emotions are on the verge of breaking, your mind will tell you that nobody will be there by your side which often leads to suicide.

To conclude, this is the best dystopian novel I've read for someone who don't like this kind of genre. The stories, the plots are professionally written ALTHOUGH this book has discussions of gun violence, racism and some other political climate. I enjoyed reading this book even though it was a little bit confusing in the beginning because this book is a continuation of other 3 books in this series. Nonetheless, this book totally worth my time and I'd probably purchase this book to re-read it. I highly recommend it to people who are into young adult fiction.

Overall, I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.]]> 2023-08-02 09:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiahnurul04/btbkwmnmrpql9iw1/wish/2654715014
