I've heard that We'll Never Be Apart has a slight magical realism tint to it and that's what made me initially so interested in this one (not sure about this information though). I mean the blurb does sound really interesting (even though a slight We Were Liars vibe definitely is there), but the potential blurry line between reality and fantasy always makes me extra excited.
This sounds like a mix of We Were Liars and Mara Dyer to me, which are both books that I love, so maybe this one could be great too! I love it when you can't really trust your narrator, when reality and fantasy are jumbled up. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI still have to read Mara Dyer, but I've heard it's a pretty captivating read :) I really love it too when unreliable narrators are included - makes everything so mysterious.
DeleteOh. I love books which has magic to it.
ReplyDeleteMY WAITING ON WEDNESDAY
Same here! :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHaha, good if this changed your mind! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting... and yeah... it really does sound like a mix between quite a few YA books I've read. Did you read Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver? It's very interesting how some people are able to weave magical realism into a book and it seems just another part of reality and you don't even have to suspend disbelief. I like that. Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteI haven't read Vanishing Girls, but I'd really like to at some point :) I really enjoy talented writes how can weave magic seamlessly to their books too, it's a shame that more authors don't do it.
DeleteThis sounds really interesting! I hadn't heard of it before, but now I want to know more.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sound of this as well! Let's hope it's as good as it appears to be :)
DeleteSet in a mental institution with magical realism? This sounds awesome! I've never heard of it but I will definitely be adding it to my Goodreads! Awesome pick this week :) My WoW:

Can't wait to check this out as well, and I love the cover. So mysterious!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely my type of read, can't wait to get my hands on it! :D
ReplyDeleteI love dark reads especially psychological thrillers because I love to be kept guessing so this sounds awesome. The magical realism element reminds me of a movie I saw, I think it was Shutter Island? Definitely adding to my TBR!
