A review by kristy_k
You Were Here by Cory McCarthy
3.0
Having not heard much about this book, I was unsure if I'd enjoy it. But, McCarthy took 5 mainly unlikable characters and created a poignant and realistic story about dealing with grief and discovering oneself. You Were Here takes place over the course of a summer, but that is plenty of time to see the characters develop, change, and grow.
Perhaps one of my favorite things about the novel (although at first I was unsure if I'd like it) was the different way each character's POV was portrayed. There was 1st person, 3rd person, art, and graphics. Each one yielded well to the character it was for and I ended up thinking it added to the overall storytelling.
