A review by aynara
A World Without You by Beth Revis
3.0
3/5
The ending was far too dark and sinister (somewhat unintentionally) for my taste. I think Revis did a good job trying to illustrate a dissociative mental illness but failed to give the main character a life or personality beyond his mental illness. The ending switched suddenly to more of a magical-realism theme, which was jarring. This novel was engrossing and interesting, and there was much research done into mental illness of all sorts, but some things just fell short of authentic.
