Synopsis
On the anniversary of her daredevil brother's death, Jaycee attempts to break into Jake's favorite hideout—the petrifying ruins of an insane asylum. Joined by four classmates, each with their own brand of dysfunction, Jaycee discovers a map detailing her brother's exploration and the unfinished dares he left behind.
As a tribute to Jake, Jaycee vows to complete the dares, no matter how terrifying or dangerous. What she doesn't bargain on is her eccentric band of friends who challenge her to do the unthinkable: reveal the parts of herself that she buried with her brother.
My Review
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Platypires for You Were Here by Cori McCarthy
This was really good. I feel fans of John Green will like the novel. The book is really well written with developed characters. I liked how as the story evolved the characters kept having more depth and layers.
The dialogue and character reactions were realistic and fun. The different POVs was a welcomed bonus and my favorite being from Mik. His POV was told through comic art which was a delight.
"You Were Here" is a coming of age story that I feel would work for movie screen. The story has the angst, the drama, and the inner turmoil among lost friendships.
Overall, this was a good book and I would recommend to fans of YA fiction.
I received a free digital copy from NetGalley for an honest review.
