if you liked shatter me, read these next
still thinking about aaron warner? yeah… me too.
that man permanently altered my brain chemistry and i’m not even being dramatic about it.
the tension, the obsession, the way everything feels a little too intense but you don’t want it any other way… shatter me does something to you.
let's try to chase that feeling a little longer.
what you'll find in this list
these aren’t just dystopian romances.
they all carry something shatter me does really well - whether that be more emotional pull, aaron warner level obsession, or maybe just a good dystopian romance escape.
not the same story. just the same level of attachment.
my take
no one can top aaron warner.
the books
most of these are on kindle unlimited, so if you've been thinking about it... this might be your sign.
