Shatter Me
by Tahereh Mafi
more Young Adult & Dystopian →Shatter Me's stream-of-consciousness prose and strikethrough text were unusual for YA dystopia when it came out and still stand out; Juliette's touch-is-a-weapon premise is the hook, but Mafi's prose style is the real signature.

Publisher's summary
"You can't touch me," I whisper.
I'm lying, is what I don't tell him.
He can touch me, is what I'll never tell him.
But things happen when people touch me.
Strange things.
Bad things.
No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon.
But Juliette has plans of her own.
After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time, and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.
