After being sexually assaulted at a party, Mara started experiencing paranoia and delusional thoughts, which resulted in a public psychotic episode freshman year. Now a senior in high school, Mara feels like an outcast who would rather keep to herself than risk being judged. However, the only way she'll graduate is if she can pass her least favorite class: public speaking. Mara is ready to publicly reclaim her own story—but will she find acceptance this time around?
“This slim novel works both as a high/low pick and a selection for those seeking a realistic, emotionally intelligent read. ” —Booklist
