I'm starting a new book and it's name is Every Last Word. It's by Tamara Ireland Stone, and due to this book, I think she's now my favorite author. The book is about a girl with many mental illnesses. She's in the popular crowd, though, so when she gets a new friend, she has to keep her a secret, along with her therapy sessions. She goes to a poetry read-aloud in the basement of the school and gets more involved with the people from it.
This book makes me really interested in helping people because of the main character's therapist. The therapist is really nice, and knows exactly what to say so the girl doesn't get uncomfortable. I would like to know how to do that. I'm also interested by the book because of the illnesses the main character suffers from.
One of her problems is she has OCD. Unlike most theories, she's not a clean freak, and she's not exactly neat. I feel like most people get that wrong and to her it's a common misconception. She doesn't mind it though. I think that if someone were to ask her about it she'd show them how messy she is to prove that not every person with OCD is clean. She's a great main character that is relatable and easy to understand, even if you don't have the illnesses she does.
