New York Times Best Seller – If you could read my mind, you wouldn’t be smiling.
Samantha McAllister appears like any other popular girl in her junior class, but beneath the surface lies a secret her friends wouldn’t understand: she suffers from Purely-Obsessional OCD, consumed by dark thoughts and relentless worries. Second-guessing her every move, thought, and word makes daily life a struggle, especially with toxic friends quick to judge her.
When Samantha meets Caroline, a refreshing and humorous new friend, she keeps it a secret, just like her visits to her psychiatrist. Caroline introduces her to Poet’s Corner, a hidden room with a tight-knit group of misfits ignored by the school. Sam is drawn to them, discovering a new side of herself and feeling more “normal” than she ever did among the popular crowd. But as she questions her sanity and everything she holds dear, a poignant tale of love, true friendship, self-acceptance, and finding one’s voice unfolds.
Every Last Word has been praised for its thoughtful romance and powerful message about self-acceptance. The novel captivates readers with its relatable characters and conflicts, making it a moving story of overcoming obstacles and discovering oneself. A riveting and enjoyable read that will leave readers wanting to turn every last page.
