More Than This by Patrick Ness
This book utterly destroyed me. I cried like a baby. It’s my favourite.
More Than This is an incredibly touching story about a boy named Seth who,
for all intents and purposes, dies. Then he wakes up alone and dishevelled.
It takes you on a journey through the perspective of a teenager who doesn’t
understand anything that’s happening. Nor, more importantly, why it’s
happening.
The beauty of this book is that yes, it is confusing, yes, you may not be
satisfied, but it conveys a deep message about our humanity and what
we’re capable of. It’s heart wrenching and heartwarming all at once.
I suggest reading this book if you find yourself asking, ‘what am I doing here?’
Maybe More Than This will help you answer that question.
“Real life is only ever just real life. Messy. What it means depends on how
you look at it. The only thing you’ve got to do is find a way to live
there.”
