This wasn't the way it was supposed to go.

You're just a typical fifteen-year-old sophomore, an average guy named Kyle Chase. This can't be happening to you. But then, how do you explain all the blood? How do you explain how you got here in the first place?

There had to have been signs, had to have been some clues it was coming. Did you miss them, or ignore them? Maybe if you can figure out where it all went wrong, you can still make it right. Or is it already too late? Think fast, Kyle. Time's running out. How did this happen?

You is the riveting story of fifteen-year-old Kyle and the small choices he does and doesn't make that lead to his own destruction.

In his stunning young-adult debut, Charles Benoit mixes riveting tension with an insightful—and unsettling—portrait of an ordinary teen in a tale that is taut, powerful, and shattering.

Advance praise for You:

"You is authentic, ambitious, and gripping. A serious book that reads like a suspense novel, the story it tells—of the ways in which we become imprisoned by our own choices, big and small—is both frightening and frighteningly real."

—Lauren Oliver, New York Times bestselling author of Before I Fall

"Charles Benoit has written a shattering, gut-wrenching novel that puts You right in the center of the story. Pick it up and you won't put it down!"

—Michael Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Gone

"I sat down to start this book—and didn't get up until I'd finished it, a riveting three hours later. You is pitch-perfect: funny, real, touching, brimming with tension and foreboding—and still surprising right up to the last page. one of the best ya novels I've read in years."

—Patricia McCormick, National Book Award finalist, author of Sold and Purple Heart

"A sandstorm of a novel, as harshly real as hell or high school. I loved it."

—Robert Lipsyte, Margaret A. Edwards Award–winning author of The Contender and Center Field

"Wanna know who the real bad guys in your school are? Read You. This book will keep you reading, and then it will start you thinking. And talking. You is good stuff."

—Chris Crutcher, Margaret A. Edwards Award–winning author of Deadline

This book is very well written, which only makes it that much harder to read because it makes all the horrible things that happen more believable. I was eagerly anticipating this book, but for some reason I wasn't prepared for it to be so brutal. Must be all those Disney happy endings - I still think everything will be okay in the end, even when the first page of the book tells you it won't. I wanted to stop it all from happening - and some characters I just wanted to pick up and shake until they stopped being jerks - most of them, actually. I only gave it two stars because I can't be really enthusiastic about something so cruel and sad, but it's a good book. Just be prepared for it to freak you out. ( )

Very trippy. Almost like a Choose Your Own Adventure except you don't die by page three. ( )

Teen fiction; high school pressures for boys. This book propels you along nicely, giving glimpses of past indiscretions and trouble to come, and then when you get to the end you think, that's all? THAT is the whole reason for this whole plot? True, it may not be small potatoes to the main character, but it's pretty anticlimactic and dumb, especially since he's not even particularly that good of a friend to the girl in question. I can deal with the hero not being much of a hero, and I I liked the development of the characters with all the shifty-ness and shadiness, but it was a story I could easily have done without. Also, it makes me really sorry for this boy's mom--you can tell she's trying to help him, she can't help that she asks all the wrong questions and that he's going to ignore her anyway. ( )

I could go on and on about how this book made me think and feel but I'm afraid I would pass Goodreads' character limit, so I'll try to keep it short enough. People have compared it to the works of Ellen Hopkins, and it is a very apt comparison indeed except that in the case of You everything is directed at the reader - the reader becomes the main character, pulled forcefully into the action. For young teens who are currently experiencing what You's troubled protagonist is going through, this will be a quite effective slim book to read.

It also helps that the main protag is one that readers will be confused and conflicted on whether he's someone to cheer for or someone to hate. This is, of course, up to each reader to decide for themselves - I personally found him lacking in features that would make me like him, as most of his misfortune is pretty much his fault. The fact that I feel this so vehemently - and the fact that I can't get this bloody book out of my head days after reading it - is a powerful testament to this book's staying power. It will pull violently at your emotions, twist and turn them, and never let go until the final page, in which the novel's ending pages will sit in your mind and haunt your thoughts in the most delicious ways for days to come. If you like your YA books with a believable male protag caught up in his own cautionary tale with a unique POV twist and is very dark in nature, you will absolutely love You. It won't take you very long to read it - because once you start, it will be hard to put it down until it's over.

Note of Discretion: A free copy of You was provided to me via a free contest held by Goodreads and HarperCollins. ( )
