Made You Up by Francesca Zappia

5.0

I really really enjoyed this. I think the main character, her love interest and even the "bad guys" were compelling and there wasn't a point in the book where I wanted to put it down:
-On my bike rides to class or work I would listen to it.
-I really had to try hard not to listen to it at work(though I was able to read bits and pieces of the ebook when it was slow.
- Listened to it while in my drawing naked people figure drawing class

I personally cannot say yes or no to how well it represents schizophrenia or mental illnesses but it did remind me of a friend who for many years was diagnosed schizophrenic in that they both saw a phoenix.
I don't know if anyone would say it's the best representation but I don't think it intentionally or unintentionally glamorizes the disorder.

Really sad I didn't know well enough to annotate or take notes while listening/reading because I feel like this is a book I could pationately discuss though have a hard time keeping spoiler free.
