All Evie wants is to be normal. She’s almost off her meds and at a new college where no one knows her as the girl-who-went-crazy. She’s even going to parties and making friends. There’s only one thing left to tick off her list…
But relationships are messy – especially relationships with teenage guys. They can make any girl feel like they’re going mad. And if Evie can’t even tell her new friends Amber and Lottie the truth about herself, how will she cope when she falls in love?

My Review
I got this book from my local bookstore.
The cover looked attractive and the way it the title is framed as a question, compells you to grab the book and see whats it about.
This was a different book than what I usually read. It was insightful and funny and id deals with the stigma of mental illness beautifully.
The misconceptions or insensitivity that we now a days show towards OCD and other mental illness is described spot on.
The end of the book offers some nice advice for life in general. Reading about Evie and her friends' journey from new friends to best friends was heartwarming.
