Reality, it turns out, is often not what you perceive it to be—sometimes, there really is someone out to get you. For fans of Silver Linings Playbook and Liar, this thought-provoking debut tells the story of Alex, a high school senior—and the ultimate unreliable narrator—unable to tell the difference between real life and delusion.

Alex fights a daily battle to figure out what is real and what is not. Armed with a take-no-prisoners attitude, her camera, a Magic 8 Ball, and her only ally (her little sister), Alex wages a war against her schizophrenia, determined to stay sane long enough to get into college. She's pretty optimistic about her chances until she runs into Miles. Didn't she imagine him? Before she knows it, Alex is making friends, going to parties, falling in love, and experiencing all the usual rites of passage for teenagers. But Alex is used to being crazy. She's not prepared for normal. Can she trust herself? Can we trust her?

Recensione

“Debut novelist Zappia presents readers with a wholly unreliable narrator, [but] the characters all seem authentic, thanks to Zappia’s careful attention to detail.” — Booklist

“Alex is a funny, touching, determined, and smart character, and her story is complex and interesting. Fans of E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars and Matthew Quick’s Silver Linings Playbook will immerse themselves in this nuanced look at trying to live a “normal” life while coping with mental illness.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

“The storytelling texture here recalls Andrew Smith and Sean Beaudoin…There are moments of genuine tragedy redeemed by the acceptance Miles and Alex find in each other amidst all of their imperfections; if love doesn’t conquer all, it certainly makes the battles easier to bear. Readers…will enjoy this quirky trip.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Alex’s sardonic voice and the rapid, Heathers-like dialogue will hold readers’ interest.” — Publishers Weekly

5,0 su 5 stelle Meraviglioso

Non avevo aspettative alte, ma ho trovato Made You Up davvero meraviglioso. Per me è la prova che anche un genere spesso guardato dall'alto in basso come la narrativa young adult può offrire ogni tanto delle bellissime perle. I personaggi, soprattutto i protagonisti Alex (perfetto esempio di narratrice inattendibile) e Miles, riescono a farsi amare come delle persone in carne e ossa. È una storia che parla di temi complessi, ma in maniera sempre coinvolgente e mai pesante. Prima di tutto, però, è una storia che fa ridere, che fa piangere, che mette ansia e che spinge a tirare un sospiro di sollievo. In poche parole, una storia che emoziona. Mi auguro che i prossimi libri dell'autrice riescano a fare lo stesso.

A história é linda, tocante e triste, mas muito boa de ler. A arte do livro é incrível e condiz com a maravilha que é essa leitura. Recomendo o livro tanto na versão capa dura quanto na versão capa comum. Ambas têm um ótimo trabalho de diagramação.

5,0 su 5 stelle I couldn't take my eyes off. Amazing!

This book was amazing. From start until finish I was sucked up by the life of Alex. The words flew off the page and created a story in my mind that was both, enticing and sad. Not knowing what is real and what isn't, was encaptured by the perfect pot twists and perfectly timed moments.
I read the book in a night, once finished I sat there and thought about the plot and realized despite knowing what happened, I wanted to read it all over again.

5,0 su 5 stelle Reading Highlight of the year!
Recensito in Germania il 22 giugno 2017

What an amazing book, leaving me speechless with its gut-wrenching twists and turns, teetering on the edge of my chair, trying to figure out what I could believe and what I couldn't.

In the beginning it came on a little too strong and I was just about to grumble about yet another inclusion of monster Nazis that Americans seem to love so much. Well, I'm German, so I never understood why people would include them into games and movies alongside vampires, turning them into some mythical creatures or so - but never mind, this story actually turned around really quickly and gave a very sensible approach to that topic, hitting all the right notes.

And not only in that regard, everything came together just beautifully. Every strand of the story culminated in something fantastic and when everything unravelled I had to take a break, just to let that twist sink in. This is a masterful book, absolutely fantastic, that not only deals with schizophrenia in a great humanising way, but also told a thrillfull story along it.

One thing I particularly liked that although, this was Alex' story, the other characters were just as solid and had their own story arcs not just centralised around her.

Thanks for this book - it is for now the reading highlight of the year.

THIS BOOK THOUGH!!

HAAAH I'm filled with so much happiness! This book was soo soo good! It's so well written, it felt so real and gave me all 'The Feels'. Man I can't tell you how happy I am for reading this book. I honestly can't point out any flaws in it. What I loved the most about the book was the theme. It was nothing like I've ever come across. An experiment that went well I must say. A schizophrenic girl who's having a hard time distinguishing between what's real and what's her imagination, and how she tackles it, with the help of a few friends and a special one.

Based on the nature of my review it's quite obvious the book has a happy ending. So I won't be spoiling it furthermore.

Usually when I'm busy, it takes me over 2 days to finish a 400+ page book. But this one, I finished it in practically a day despite being so damn busy!! It is interesting and captivating and such an easy read. I practically flew through the book and didn't care to sleep! IT WAS THAT GOOD.

Go read the book for yourself to know why I enjoyed it so much. I'M STILL GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR RECALLING THE SCENES FROM IT. I haven't felt this good after reading a book in quite some time.

This one deserves a gazillion stars HANDS DOWN!
