Juliette, furious, punches the ground so hard that it causes a minor earthquake, nearly destroying the walls of Omega Point.Juliette develops empathy for Warner, despite him seeming cold and ruthless, and asserts him as a normal human, despite his denials.

Warner, who is also the son of the Reestablishment's Supreme Commander, makes Juliette an offer that includes her being able to get out of the asylum in turn for her torturing any prisoners with her touch as a weapon for the Reestablishment. In SHATTER ME, Juliette has been isolated and starved in an asylum for almost a year when they tell her she's to have a roommate. Castle later asks Juliette if it’s true that Warner can touch her, and she admits that it is and realizes the significance of this: Warner also has Energy.

The novel addresses issues of identity, self-esteem, and mental health in a dystopian context and contains genre elements of fantasy, psychological thriller, and romance. The book is narrated by Juliette, a 17-year-old girl with a lethal touch and is unusual in that it contains passages and lines that have been crossed out like a diary entry. Warner is able to heal Juliette by channeling the powers of the healers (Sonya and Sarah) who were being held hostage. He’s kissing me like the world is rolling right off a cliff, like he’s trying to hang on and he’s decided to hold on to me, like he’s starving for life and love and he’s never known it could ever feel this good to be close to someone.
