Made You Up by Francesca Zappia
4.0
Actual rating: 4.5
I really enjoyed this book. I LOVE how the author portrayed this taboo (especially in teens) mental illness so realistically. TV shows and other book tend to villain-ize Paranoid Schizophrenia, Francesca Zappia did the exact opposite of that. She showed a teenage girl with the disease who just wanted to survive high school and move onto college.
The only reason that this book wasn't a 5 star book for me was that I wasn't (and am still not) quite sure about the ending. I liked it, and it went with the theme of the book well, but something just didn't feel quite right about it.
That being said, I'm definitely going to buy myself a copy once it's out in paperback. (The copy I read was borrowed from my library.)
