Hey guys! I'm looking for new books and i just love books with a unique format. Can be plot, writing style or even cover. My most unique reads were battle royale and horrostor. What are yours? Edit: just remember invisible monsters by Chuck Palanhiuk! Another unique book.

I was checking to see if Broken Earth had been mentioned! It's the only story I'm aware of that does second person (not all chapters).

Broken Earth also has some truly badass twists/reveals, can reccommend!

I got brownie points with a high school English teacher for recognizing a quote from Half Asleep In Frog Pyjamas which is written in second person.
