A review by lanaglennon
You Were Here by Cory McCarthy
5.0
Pardon my language, but holy crap.
I adored this book. I started it yesterday, and I read straight through until I had to go to something mandatory for my dorm. Then I woke up early this morning to finish it.
First off, the writing is spectacular. McCarthy writes in such a way that I can clearly picture what's happening. I love the way that McCarthy integrates art with the book, and it perfectly fits the characters that she puts it in with. McCarthy wrote the characters in a way that I could relate to, and they were completely realistic. The characters all had depth to them, and the depth of the characters was explored.
The storyline was good, and it definitely had some twists and turns that surprised me. The book kept me on my toes at all times, and had my heart pounding. When the characters felt happy, or sad, or angry, I felt it along with them. I fell in love with the characters, and when I finished it, it kind of felt like I had lost a friend, or I had finished a part of my life.
Either way, I would recommend this book to anyone. There's not a whole lot of strong language, there is mention of sex, and there is definitely violence and some things that are described in detail, so I would say 16+ most likely.
