# Tahereh Mafi books in order

Shatter Me is one of the most-searched reading orders going, mostly because of the novellas. Here's the full order with the novellas slotted where they actually make sense.

## Where to start

Book one, Shatter Me, and push through the strikethrough prose — it's deliberate and it pays off. Read Destroy Me after book one and Fracture Me after book two.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to read the Shatter Me novellas?

They're optional but very worth it. Destroy Me (after book one) and Fracture Me (after book two) are told from other points of view and change how you read the main series.

### How many books are in the Shatter Me series?

Six main novels plus several novellas. The first trilogy wraps one arc; the later books continue the story.

### Is Shatter Me young adult or adult?

Young adult dystopian with a strong romance thread. The later books get a little steamier but stay YA.
