The fascinating, shocking, and ultimately quite hopeful story of one teens downward spiral into mental illness by the bestselling author of Tweak. Miless little brother Teddy is missing. The police believe he drowned at the beachthe very same day Miles had his first schizophrenic episode. But Miles knows betterTeddy is alive. Kidnapped. There was even a witness! Fueled by guilt, Miles sets off to rescue Teddy. There is so much to overcome, though. The endless pills he must take. The girl who steals his heart and plays with it. The black crows that follow him. As seen through Miless distorted perception, his world closes around him as he pushes to keep it open. What you think you know about his world is actually a blur of gray, though, and the sharp focus of reality proves startling. The New York Times bestselling author of Tweak offers a fascinating and ultimately quite hopeful story of one teens downward spiral into mental illness. Praise for SCHIZO: Included in CNN.com's roundup of "new titles to feed your YA addiction" Readers fascinated by the dark side of the human mind in realistic fiction will enjoy this deft portrayal of a brain and a life spiraling out of control. Miles is an endearing character whose difficult journey will generate compassion and hope. School Library Journal [T]he crafting of the plot and the convergence of the different storylines keeps pages turning. Schizo is a thrilling read for teens. VOYA "[A}n insightful perspective on one teens struggle with mental illness." Publishers Weekly "Miles's clipped first-person narration is immediate and intimate." Horn Book "[A] heartbreaking story, but particularly important in the climate around mental illness today." Bustle.com

It‘s starting again.
There‘s a sound like an airplane descending loudly in my ear. I can‘t quite place it. The sweat is cold down my back. I feel my heart beat faster. My hands shake.

Maybe having schizophrenia is my big fuck-you to the status quo. Only, I guess at this point, being normal and well-adjusted would be, like, the biggest fuck-you of them all. So I guess I‘ll just try to shoot for that, if I can. #Schizo #NicSheff #book #books #bookworm #bookworms #bookwormlife #bookwarm #bookwarmth #epicreads @EpicReads #bookend #bookends #bookedit #bookeditor #bookrecommendation #bookrecommendations #bookreport #bookreview #read

This book was definitely interesting to read. I guessed how it was going to end, but it still surprised me. It gave me a new view of people suffering from schizophrenia. This book is a definite must read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Schizo #NicSheff #book #books #booknerd #booknerds #booknerdsunite #bookmark #bookmarks #bookquotes #bookquote #bookqueen #bookworm #bookworms #booked #epicreads #read #bookrecommendation #bookreport #bookreview #booktoday #bookish 💓💓

Moving right ahead onto another audiobook! Continuing with the mental illness theme. Hoping it gives me a bit of insight into schizophrenia.

I read Nic Sheff's first book, Tweak, several years ago (as a mother it scared the shit out of me). This is Nic's first novel. It addresses mental illness as a teen in a realistic but respectful way. Throughout the story I had to remind myself that this was fiction, because it felt so honest and true. I'm thrilled that this talented young writer was been able to continue his recovery and bless us with his prose.

Great book. Makes you really think about mental health. The book kept my attention throughout! I liked the shorter chapters. As a high school librarian, I would suggest this book to many different kids!
