Release Me
by Tahereh Mafi
Tahereh Mafi's second New Republic novel splits its narration three ways: an assassin trained to feel nothing, the boy working loose her conditioning, and a brother who can never quite get a reading on her. The result is a dystopian romance about surveillance, control, and the dangerous business of waking up.
Shatter Me: A Journey of Strength and Rebellion Against a Dictatorship
by Tahereh Mafi
Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me drops a teenage girl who kills with a touch into a crumbling dystopia and lets her prison-diary voice, strikethroughs and all, carry the reader straight into her head.
