Made You Up by Francesca Zappia

3.0

It was a fun book to read but the depiction of schizophrenia, therapy, and psychiatric hospitals was just.... so inaccurate that it was hard to enjoy it. Plus, the high school drama seemed to be excessive? But, I suppose that is part of the authors attempt to make the narrator seem more confusing and unreliable, since the ending indicates the reader should feel as uncertain about what was real and what was a hallucination or delusion as Alex feels. It wasn’t a bad read BUT it would be a poor choice to celebrate it as a YA mental health book. It’s just fun fiction.
