A review by bobbiecabrera
Made You Up by Francesca Zappia
3.0
Maybe this isn't the right time for me to go back to YA novels, or maybe this isn't the best novel to do it with. The story was good, but not great. I was wary reading the synopsis, but I decided to give it a try anyway, because there is a lot Zappia can do with her selling point: the main protaginist, especially since she's touching a timely and rarely-discussed and tackled (in popular fiction) mental illness.
Unfortunately, the book is peppered with high school clichés. The part about Charlie was so predictable. The book didn't just...make an impression. So much could have been done, especially with an interesting premise. But hey, I'm no expert.
