A review by henrijeticasuncokret
Made You Up by Francesca Zappia

Did not finish book.

2.0

Overall, I am a fan of avantgarde stories, such as "Why we stole the car," which often portray people whom the neuronormative society deems "dysfunctional" or just plain "crazy." Unfortunately, Made you up heavily stigmatizes people with mental ilness. There are parts of the novel that seem overtly mean or just plain cruel. But, there isn't any attempt to give some depth to this cruelty- why were characters led to this point, i.e delve deeper into their mindset, etc. If you are looking for a genuinely better story, I highly recommend that you read "Why We stole the Car."
