It’s like someone’s tumblr blog in a book. This is basically the life of any teenager and we can relate to it so much.

Book review of YOU by Charles Benoit


Book review of YOU by Charles Benoit
My thoughts on this book:
I love the second person point of view it was so unique and original in YA books.
The book is witty and sad at the same time I laughed out loud at some points.
When Zack got introduce I didn’t get any bad vibes from him I thought he was different and outspoken. But half way though the book I felt like he turned into the joker I just pictured him being all evil. Kyle is such a chill guy I felt so bad for him I felt like he was kind of like the anti hero, he stay true to himself the whole time and I like that.

Kyle is a teenage boy who’s in high school and hangs with his gang called “the hoddies”. Kyle is a troubled teen he haves anger issues with random bursts of anger, his parents are hounding him to find a job, and his grades are failing, and he haves a huge crush on long time friend Ashley. Everything is “normal” until he meets Zack a transfer, Zack is an unique person he wears flamboyant clothes and throws outrages party’s.
In the beginning Zack is very friendly and even helps Kyle with his bullies. Then after Kyle went to Zack’s party people who knew Zack started to warn him that Zack know people’s weakness and he will use it against them in the worst way. 

Overall:
I really did like this book I think high schoolers should read this it’s witty and cunning and tragic at the same time.

Opinions:
I just didn’t like the ending I wish there was more details
I give this 4 out of 5 stars
