When Jason Milwaukee's best friend Sunshine vanishes, Jason knows that something is terribly wrong, but solving her disappearance will require pushing through all the voices in his head and then getting the world to listen to him. His schizophrenia is stopping him from remembering the events leading up to her disappearance, and often he discounts his own memories, and his own impressions. But his deep knowledge that he would never hurt his friend, plus the faith of his parents and a few others in the town bring him to the point of solving the mystery. In the end, it's Sunshine's own love for Jason (Freak) that persuades him of his own strength and goodness. By turns brilliantly witty and searingly honest, Susan Vaught's newest novel is a laugh-out-loud, tear-jerking, coming-of-age story.

I'm going to give it a couple of days before I pick up another book, because Freaks Like Us ended in such a touching way. Emotions.

So yes, I loved it. Jason has schizophrenia, and his best friend who has selective mutism goes missing. Susan Vaught did a great job depicting what it is like to live with schizophrenia, something that is rare in all media. The characters are all vivid, and even though Jason is an unreliable narrator, he's loveable.

An eye opening book of what the intel monologue of a schizophrenic is like. It‘s a YA book and an easy, quick read, but poignant nonetheless. #SetAtSchool #booked2018 #MCwithMentalIllness #getreading2018 #23of36 #AudioBook
