The author shows us what is to be battling OCD and Anxiety,she digs deeper in what is a day to day life with this sickness and even tell us some things about what it can happen if you don’t get help. That was my favorite part of the book, how poetry became a very important part of the characters. She uses poetry in a way that people like me that love to write poetry understand the power it contains and what it means to us when we create a piece of art with our words from deep within. Is a place with a couple of amazing people she finds what she needed and didn’t know she was looking for.
The main character, Sam or Samantha is suffering from OCD.
I started and it blew my mind and my heart. About a week ago if not less I finished a book about anxiety and then Started another one that I didn’t know what it was about, the only clue I had was that it had poetry in it. until she finds a new reason to question her sanity and all she holds dear.Every last word is meant to mean something. Slowly, she begins to feel more “normal” than she ever has as part of the popular crowd. Sam is drawn to them immediately, especially a guitar-playing guy with a talent for verse, and starts to discover a whole new side of herself.
So when Sam meets Caroline, she has to keep her new friend with a refreshing sense of humor and no style a secret, right up there with Sam’s weekly visits to her psychiatrist.Ĭaroline introduces Sam to Poet’s Corner, a hidden room and a tight-knit group of misfits who have been ignored by the school at large.
Yet Sam knows she’d be truly crazy to leave the protection of the most popular girls in school. Second-guessing every move, thought, and word makes daily life a struggle, and it doesn’t help that her lifelong friends will turn toxic at the first sign of a wrong outfit, wrong lunch, or wrong crush. But hidden beneath the straightened hair and expertly applied makeup is a secret that her friends would never understand: Sam has Purely-Obsessional OCD and is consumed by a stream of dark thoughts and worries that she can’t turn off. Samantha McAllister looks just like the rest of the popular girls in her junior class. If you could read my mind, you wouldn’t be smiling.
