Who Wore It Better #4 - Unravel Me

Who Wore It Better is a meme created and hosted by Nitzan at The Book Babes Read and co-hosted here on Beautiful Bookish Butterflies by Amanda and Stacie. We don't talk about clothing or fashion and we definitely don't talk frills and spills, we talk books and their covers and who we think has the best. This week, Amanda's talking about the covers for Unravel Me, the second book of the Shatter Me trilogy. She hasn't started this series as of yet, but will the love it receives, it's definitely creeping up her list..

The Covers

Cover #5 - Turkish Paperback
Cover #6 - Czech Hardcover Edition

My Thoughts

Cover #1, the US and UK edition is absolutely beautiful, and is only my favourite by a small margin, as the first four really could have fought for a spot here, but there's something about this edition that just speaks to me; it's got the eyelashes frozen which could symbolise a change in temperature between the three 'love triangle' characters, but it could also symbolise the change in seasons, the cold before the new beginning, the new spring. Granted, I've never read the series, and I have no idea how Ignite me ended, but that's just the feel I get from this cover. Cover #2, the French edition calls out to me from a personal point of view; I adore black dresses over any other coloured dress and I find the cover to be so elegant, yet dark and dangerous, and there's a beautiful vibe I get from it. Cover #3, the German edition is also pretty darn beautiful, and I confess, where I can't choose black, I'll choose a red dress, so that probably explains why I put this cover in third place, but it also seems to match wonderfully with the edition for Shatter Me, and you all know me and matching covers. Cover #4, the Swedish edition I think hones in on the relationship aspect of the story. I am aware that there is a love triangle, and that in Unravel Me, a lot of people had a change of heart, so I believe this is a good route to take. Yes, the cover looks a little New Adult-ish, and also, how can Juliette touch one of the guys without killing them, yet be so up close and personal with one of them in cover? That question is what put this cover in fourth place and not second, because trust me, it almost made it there. Cover #5, the Turkish edition follows similar suit with the fourth, but I just can't seem to like it much at all; it feels very computerised and edited rather than natural and I just don't like the colouring much. I feel quite the same with Cover #6 too, the Czech edition; it just feels too generic and has too many sharp edges for my liking.
