Deep in the bowls of her high school is a secret group of poetry writing misfits and it is a place Sam has never felt more at home in. One day though Sam meets a girl in the hallway who opens her eyes to a hidden world she never dreamed of. See the thing about Sam friends is that they are popular and with that comes a certain level of behavior one needs to abide by or risk getting kicked out. Sam has worked for years to not only keep her OCD under control but to also keep it hidden from her friends. Because when all is said and done Every Last Word was fantastic.Įvery Last Word is about a girl, Sam, who has OCD, more on the side of obsession than compulsion. So what started as a 4 star book morphed into the rating it deserved, 5 glorious stars. Every feeling I had stayed with me days later. The more I stepped away from the book and the aftermath of finishing the more I actually loved what I read. But the thing about Every Last Word is that is deserves more. When I originally finished Every Last Word I rated it 4 stars, maybe 4.5 stars.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. until she finds a new reason to question her sanity and all she holds dear. Slowly, she begins to feel more 'normal' than she ever has as part of the popular crowd. Sam is drawn to them immediately, especially a guitar-playing guy with a talent for verse, and starts to discover a whole new side of herself. So when Sam meets Caroline, she has to keep her new friend with a refreshing sense of humor and no style a secret, right up there with Sam's weekly visits to her psychiatrist.Caroline introduces Sam to Poet's Corner, a hidden room and a tight-knit group of misfits who have been ignored by the school at large. Yet Sam knows she'd be truly crazy to leave the protection of the most popular girls in school. Second-guessing every move, thought, and word makes daily life a struggle, and it doesn't help that her lifelong friends will turn toxic at the first sign of a wrong outfit, wrong lunch, or wrong crush. But hidden beneath the straightened hair and expertly applied makeup is a secret that her friends would never understand: Sam has Purely-Obsessional OCD and is consumed by a stream of dark thoughts and worries that she can't turn off.

If you could read my mind, you wouldn't be smiling.Samantha McAllister looks just like the rest of the popular girls in her junior class.
