In a World Just Right by Jen Brooks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book creeped me out a lot at the beginning, to the point where I almost put it down. A boy creates a separate world just so a girl would love him? I found that creepy, although I think high school me would have not had as many concerns. Anyway, Johnathan Aubrey has been able to build worlds since he was in a plane crash when he was ten. However, recent events have caused his "Kylie-loves-me" world and the real world to start colliding. Can he put everything back to normal?
I sat down and read the book in one day, so it definitely has the plot to keep you reading. I'm not 100% sure I understand the whole world-building thing (to explain why risks spoilers) but it was an interesting concept I haven't read about a billion times before. I'm not sure it will end up high in my list of favorites, but I'm definitely intrigued enough to see what else Jen Brooks can come up with.
