This Was Written For You

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

The idea behind the book sounds super interesting. A book, whose author is unknown, written for me? A tale about my imagination being concious of being a concept of me? Sounds quite trippy but interesting! I think the first and last chapter of the book capture quite well the kind of vibe I wanted and waited from the book but sadly these two are quite independent from the rest of the narrative.

First and last chapters focus on Imagination talking to us almost from a philosophical point of view, trying to explain how we are connected, how they make us what we are, make us real, are more real than us, etc. while the 95% that is the rest of the book ends up being the tale of self discovery Imagination went through. It just feels very disconected from the first and last chapters because they are so different. The narrative voice is completely different and the deeper questions asked at the beggining and at the end are nowhere to be seen in the middle part. 

I feel like the idea is nice, but the execution was not adecuate to fully bring to life the idea. This would have been better in my opinion as a short story or something like a fictional essay written by Imagination, while they mulled over and over the ideas of being a figment of our imagination.
