Made You Up by Francesca Zappia
4.0
Alex Ridgemont is grateful for a fresh start at East Schoal High School. No one there knows about her schizophrenia diagnosis, and she intends to keep it that way. She's used to people not liking her, but Miles Richter is different. They have almost all of their classes together, and he's a jerk. He's also a really smart jerk that intrigues Alex in a way she's not willing to admit yet. As she spends more time with Miles, most of it reluctantly, it becomes harder for her to hide her mental illness. The line between what's real and what's not blurs, but Miles may understand more than she gives him credit for.
Eliza and Her Monsters was one of my favorite YA books I read last year, so I was really excited to pick this one up! I loved the quirky cast of characters and the witty dialogue that filled the pages. I like that Zappia depicted mental illness in such a strong female character and included Alex's good days and bad days throughout the story. I very much enjoyed Alex and Miles's relationship development as well. Something about the ending didn't quite satisfy me, but I still enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
