Every Last Word Book Review

First I just want to say that this was a book I will certainly never forget. I have read books and some of them good some of them bad,but none of them was as good as Every Last Word. I 'm just going to say that it's now going to be on my top 10 favorite books!


Synopsis 

  The story starts with Samantha Mcallister. She is part of the popular girls group. She's pretty and loves swimming and her psychiatrist. Yup, her psychiatrist. She see's a shrink and takes meds and her thoughts are spiraling almost every day and has anxiety attacks. In other words she has OCD. As in, Obsessive-compulsive disorder. But no-one knows that except for her family. And Sam wants it to stay like that. She is constantly depressed about this and one day she finds a mysterious group walking into the janitor's closet past the mops and brooms and into the Poet's Corner. A place where the ignored people spit out there feelings in the wonderful world of poetry. As Samantha discovers this exotic place she feels normal. At least normal for an OCD person. But. Samantha doesn't want anyone else to find out so keeping a secret is easier said then done. Follow Sam as she fights her dark stream of thoughts, belts her heart out into one piece of paper. This book will  want you  to read every last word...


So I just love the fact that the author used the character to have a sickness. It makes it more interesting and unique. I read some books when the character has a disease like The Fault In Our Stars and Freak The Mighty. But none of them caught my attention like this. I read any books by this author. I had pretty high expectations based on what I heard about this book and it exceeded them!! 
      The love interest in here was kind of predictable but the path to love was higly unusual and unlike your average love story book. Samantha was the main character and she fits in the role perfectly. She isn't too happy with the disease and too sad. If it were too sad it would make her seem selfish. 
     It was a shock that Caroline was fake. I was heart-broken. I found that it was out of the blue twist. But it kind of made it more interesting. I felt that Caroline was Samantha's anchor to "normal". The author makes you question normal in particular. What is normal? Normal is average,but what is average in general (not the math kind). I really loved this book and it sent out a really clear message. This was similar to 13 Reasons Why (check out review here). But in a lot more ways different. Of course I would totally recommend this to 12 and up. 


Overall this is a great book!!! 



Of course 5 bunnies!!!
