Made You Up by Francesca Zappia
5.0
I don't like it when your head breaks.
God, this book screwed with me. This book messed with my head so much, I had to take a couple of days to process what I'd read, and all of me wants to start it back from the beginning and try again, try to see what is real and what isn't real in Alex's world.
I really, truly, and genuinely want to know if this is an accurate view inside of a schizophrenic mind. I realize that all schizophrenics don't think and feel the same way, but unless Francesca Zappia is, in fact, a schizophrenic, I really want to know if this is accurate.
Whether it is or not, though, it is still a mind bender. And my heart aches and breaks over and over throughout as I read her struggle to decipher what in her world is true and not true.
Especially considering how kind of insane her world is, even without the actual mental disorder. You feel throughout that everything has an unreal quality to it, and clearly that can't be real life. And to find out that what you were sure is not real actually is real, and things that seem obviously real are, in fact, hallucinations. It's just...
This is a really and truly brilliant look into the world of mental illness. And I don't think I can possibly put my fingers to these keys enough times to accurately express that. It's a wonderful read from start to finish.
