So...a young adult poetry memoir. Those are usually really, really bad.
This one wasn't so bad. In fact, I kind of embarrassingly liked it. It's about the author's struggle with anxiety disorder. Her story was really relatable, and I think, to use a word I hate, inspirational.
I don't know if anyone over the age of twenty would be able to take it though...I imagine it would be like reading Seventeen magazine. I can still read Seventeen magazine when nobody's looking. Heck, I'm not even really seventeen yet. But you can't. So no poetry memoirs for you.
However, if you so brazenly throw social convention to the wind, I don't think you'll be let down. It's 280 fast-paced pages of a person's real life experience with an incredibly difficult mental disorder. Definitely not boring.
