OK, so let's just be honest and admit that we all love a YA relationship that has some seemingly impenetrable barrier that keeps the two lovers apart. The tension! The intrigue! Welcome to the world of Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me, a book whose protagonist is a girl who literally paralyzes and kills people with her touch. So it doesn't seem like there's much hope for romance here. But don't worry, with the introduction of both Aaron Warner (cold and misunderstood) and Adam Kent (a handsome, kind soldier), we actually end up getting double the lovin'. The romance heats up more and more throughout the trilogy, and by the series' third and final installment Ignite Me, it is completely on fire.
