*Thank you to the publisher of "This was written for you" for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.*

I feel like "This was written for you" was, well, written for me. I read voraciously and always have. From the time I learned to read, I constantly kept a book in my hands. Often enough, I held more books than I really could carry.

In this short, yet wonderfully crafted work, we follow the path of an anonymous soul, who much like our anonymous author. spends their time searching for reality in a world that defies true explanation. We watch our hero learn the power of creation and destruction. We grieve with them as they discover the close relationship between pain and joy, of love and loss.

By the end, we wonder how our anonymous friend grasped our own souls and our own sense of time so vividly and deceptively strongly.

I thoroughly enjoyed "This was written for you." I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it had that element that I was looking for from the description and did have that magical element that I was looking for. This was written for you was able to have a philosophical element to it and was glad I got to read this.

Immediately this book felt so immersive to be pulled into a story like this, overall it kept me invested the whole way through,

**Review of *This Was Written for You: A Wild Philosophical Adventure* by Anonymous**

*This Was Written for You* is a unique literary journey that blends a captivating narrative with profound philosophical explorations. Found in an old leather journal, the story centers around a character who grapples with the nature of existence and their desire to become "real." The interplay between fiction and reality is masterfully executed, inviting readers to reflect on their own identities and dreams. The book's structure, which blurs the lines between reader, writer, and character, creates an immersive experience that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.

**Rating: 4/5 stars**

Thank you to Net Galley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC. The concept sounded really cool but unfortunately the execution was so dry and boring. Stuff happens but I couldn't care about it or get invested into the story because I felt no connection and the narrative voice was slow and boring.

I went into This Was Written for You expecting a wild, philosophical journey based on the description, but it didn’t live up to that for me. The idea of a character jealous of your reality sounded intriguing, but the story itself felt more like a confusing blend of ideas than the captivating, boundary-breaking experiment it was described to be. I struggled to stay engaged, and the concept didn’t hit as deeply as I had hoped. While it may appeal to others, the description led me to expect something different, which affected my overall experience.

This was a really good book with a fantastic concept! I think the idea of the book collector and the leather journal added such a fantastic new spin on this type of book, i Loved it!. It was keeping me interested throughout the whole book, it had some good twists, and it was very enjoyable!!


Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

This book explores characters that live inside of the readers subconscious. The main character begins to gain jealousy of the person it inhibits because they begin realize that they’re not real on the same sense of the person they inhibit being real.

When I first saw that this was available on NetGalley I was immediately drawn to the story. From page one all the way to the very last page this book held my attention and took me on an incredible journey. This is mind blowing and such a great book that I finished it the same day that I started to read it without taking a break.

Trigger warning:
-One of the main characters gets S/A (on page) towards the beginning of the book. This incident gets brought up a few times throughout the story.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
