Reality, it turns out, is often not what you perceive it to
be--sometimes, there really is someone out to get you. For fans of
Silver Linings Playbook and Liar, this thought-provoking debut tells
the story of Alex, a high school senior--and the ultimate unreliable
narrator--unable to tell the difference between real life and delusion.
Alex fights a daily battle to figure out what is real and what is not.
Armed with a take-no-prisoners attitude, her camera, a Magic 8 Ball, and
her only ally (her little sister), Alex wages a war against her
schizophrenia, determined to stay sane long enough to get into college.
She's pretty optimistic about her chances until she runs into Miles.
Didn't she imagine him? Before she knows it, Alex is making friends,
going to parties, falling in love, and experiencing all the usual rites
of passage for teenagers. But Alex is used to being crazy. She's not
prepared for normal. Can she trust herself? Can we trust her?
