A review by 4saradouglas
You by Charles Benoit

4.0

This is definitely a book you find yourself thinking about a lot once you finish it. I'm not entirely sure why it was written in 2nd person, although that was the main reason it was shot to the top of my to-read list, so if it was just a marketing ploy... good for them. Working in a high school I see students like Kyle every day, and Benoit did a great job creating him. Very believable. You know exactly how Kyle feels... you make a few mistakes and suddenly it's clear that you've put yourself on a certain "loser" or "slacker" track and there is no real way to take it back and start over. You find yourself wondering if there was anything Kyle could have done to change the way his story ended or if it was just his destiny. And you realize you said the word "you" in your review way more often than usual and "you" finally realize why the novel was written in 2nd person. Good job Benoit!
