Next to the first person direct POV, story-telling through diaries is probably my second favorite! I however loved the format of a “therapy diary” where we get Adam’s dosage changes when starting the chapter, to follow with Adam’s “writing” for that session – as he’s refusing to speak to his therapist, and that’s how the story is told to us. The novel honestly wasn’t what I would’ve thought it was. and I finally picked it up and finished it! 😄 If my memory serves my correctly, I think I got this book upon Sophie Beware of the Reader‘s recommendation… I’m almost positive it was hers, but I searched on her blog for a while and didn’t found it- so I may be mistaken I really should write thoses things down.

I LOVE THIS BOOK AND EVERYONE EVER SHOULD READ IT BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND PUTS YOUR PROBLEMS IN PERSPECTIVE!!!!!!!'-Camille P.Time for another review, This one has been on my tbr for a fairly long time, I think. Highly recommended.'-SLJ'I loved it more than anything I've ever read. I saved the final twenty pages for the next day because I didn't want Adam's story to end.'-Peter Brown Hoffmeister, author of This Is the Part Where You Laugh'Walton has crafted a character with unparalleled likability, a boy whose endearing, witty, introspective commentary allows readers to get inside the head of a person with a debilitating mental illness. But then the miracle drug begins to fail, and Adam will do anything to keep Maya from discovering his secret.'Echoing the premise and structure of Flowers for Algernon, this frank and inspiring novel shows how a teen's life changes after he is given an experimental medication to treat symptoms of schizophrenia.'-Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW 'A brutal, beautiful book that sits right beside The Perks of Being a Wallflower and I'll Give You the Sun.' -Jennifer Longo, author of Up to This Pointe'This book reminds me of A Monster Calls. When he meets Maya, a fiercely intelligent girl, he desperately wants to be the great guy that she thinks he is. Suddenly everything seems possible, even love. As Adam starts fresh at a new school, he begins a drug trial that helps him ignore his visions.

It should be easy to separate the real from the not real, but Adam can't.

He sees and hears people who aren't there: Rebecca, a beautiful girl who understands him the Mob Boss, who harasses him and Jason, the naked guy who's unfailingly polite. Adam has just been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Annotation: Fans of More Happy Than Not, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and It's Kind of a Funny Story will cheer for Adam as he struggles with schizophrenia in this brilliantly honest and unexpectedly funny debut.
