I haven't been here for a while hence the lateness of this review.

But anyway, this book is amazing.

I've been looking for some books that focuses on the real issues of mental health and I stumbled across an amazing channel on YouTube, her name is Emma and this book was recommended in one of her mental illness book recommendation video. It sounded interesting so I decided to get it and read it. It's definitely worth it. I read it in one sitting, it was just that good, I found myself relating to Samantha a lot when reading it. It's just hard to feel that way for me when reading. So it's definitely good book if I could relate to it in some certain perspective.

Spoiler

Sam suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but she's more to obsessive than compulsive and she has been trying to keep it a secret for ages especially from her friends. In some way I can relate to that because I've been suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder myself and I've always been trying to keep it all to myself and not tell anyone because first of all, I'm afraid people think of me like I'm a freak because I suffer from disorders that they might or might not even have. That's what I'm afraid of. My friends are just like Sam's friends, popular, "it" girls basically. So when I say this book is relatable, it is high scale relatable ;)

I love Sam a lot because she is basically a fictional depiction of me. I relate to her and her story a lot and I know how hard it is trying to fit in. I know how hard it is to open up to someone about your problems especially mental health issues. It's quite tough.

I also love AJ and the Poet's Corner members because they're so cool and they invite you in with open arms. I adore AJ, I think he's really adorable. No one really takes time to know who he is. He's such a cool character. I'm glad him and Sam got together in the end because they're so cute through out the half-end.

Every Last Word is such a moving and inspiring book, the plot itself is amazing. It teaches us that our mental illnesses don't define us, and that we're strong and we can get through it someday. No matter how slow the process is. Highly recommended!
