A novel that centers on Alexandra Ridgemont, a high school student with schizophrenia who struggles to distinguish reality from hallucinations. The text follows Alex's experiences at East Shoal High School, her developing relationship with Miles Richter—a boy she initially believes is a hallucination named Blue Eyes—and her attempts to uncover a conspiracy involving the school principal, Mr. McCoy, and a fellow student, Celia Hendricks. The narrative explores themes of mental illness, trust, friendship, and the search for truth, as Alex navigates her complex world and grapples with the traumatic revelation that her younger sister, Charlie, is also a fabrication of her mind. Ultimately, Alex finds a path toward managing her condition and forming genuine connections, accepting her reality while acknowledging the challenges it presents.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Made-You-Up-Francesca-Zappia/dp/0062290118?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=c6015c774bda609a829496f02fe5a846&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
