I watched this on Amazon Prime earlier today and it was so good!

Almost as good as the book but come on the book will always be better 😉.

I saw this was being made into a movie so I moved it up on the TBR. I‘m sad it took me this long to get to it because it was really interesting topic to talk about especially in YA. I haven‘t read a lot of books where the the main character is diagnosed with Schizophrenia,so I don‘t have anything to compare. I thought it was written well and is done so in journal entries. I felt for Adam a lot and wanted more of him and his family/friend.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love the way schizophrenia is depicted in this book. I could relate to Adam with having to deal with your mind and having to deal with meds to keep your symptoms at bay. I‘m not schizophrenic, but I do have bipolar disorder, so it is nice seeing mental illness shown in a good light. Hopefully we can break the stigma.

Saw the preview for this movie, & decided I needed to read the book first. It was absolutely stunning. Schizophrenia is an extremely misunderstood disease that‘s often misrepresented in literature. There were a ton of ways this book could have gone south in terms of cliches— both having to do with the disease & also genre. But it didn‘t. Adam is a very sweet and truly likable protag. Loved his relations with other characters, too.

Finally a story that does not depict schizophrenic people as psychopaths. I can imagine that for people who deal with the disorder on a daily basis, this is a very welcome book. Looking forward to the movie as well, lots of freedom for the creators on how to visualise the hallucinations. Definately a good pick!

Read before the movie release this Aug 21st #booktoscreen 📖🎞
