Ultraviolet is a vibrant, buzzing sci-fi novel about sixteen-year-old Alison Jeffries who gets committed to a psychiatric institution called Pine Hills, following the mysterious disappearance for a fellow classmate, Tori Beaugrand.

During her time in this institution, she meets a scruffy yet disarming neuroscientist who helps her to understand more about her 'mental' condition that mean that her senses are more enhanced than that of an average human.

This book was vivid and mind-altering! I loved its use of intensely visual language to depict a narrative about psychosis, fear and everything around us being not what it seems.

There were moments when the story lost momentum and moments when it had momentum in abundance and towards the end, things started to feel so psychedelic that I almost lost interest but otherwise I enjoyed this experimental novel on the whole and it proved to me that sci-fi can work well in books too!
