Description
WHAT IF THERE WAS A PART OF YOU THAT YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT?
"This was written for you", is a story that was found in the possessions of a wealthy book collector after their death.
It was a discovery that captivated those who made it.
Typed in a leather journal and discovered next to first editions of very well known works of literature, no other copy of this specific text is known to exist. *This is the first time it has been made available to the public...* Don't miss your opportunity to read it.
This eBook is an exact transcript of what was discovered in the leather journal - a wild philosophical adventure about an imaginary version of yourself who is jealous that you are real.
Determined to be real too, they begin a journey that takes them to the enchanting fields of an eccentric cult and onwards into a manipulative and dangerous experiment that blurs the boundaries between body and mind. As they discover more about the limits of their existence, they learn something about themselves. Something very strange. Something that they struggle to believe, even though it’s clearly true.
This magical book delves into the profound human desire to understand who we are. Maybe, just maybe, we are far more extraordinary that we ever dared to dream.
"This was written for you" is an extraordinary example of literature that breaks down the barriers between fiction and reality - a story, within a story, where there is no separation between the reader, the writer, the narrator or the characters. Everyone is in the action together and it is written by whoever is reading it, as they read. For some, it is a supernatural book. For others, it is a literary experiment of the most remarkable kind.

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.
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!!!
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.
*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.
A quirky little book- the premise interested me quite a lot and I found it curious so decided to give it a go and I was not disappointed! It really makes you think about your self and your inner thought, it's a very reflective read- full of nice quotes and quite poetic but also very ironic, couldn't put it down! Trigger warning for SA
