madelinemcguire 's review for:
Words on Bathroom Walls
by Julia Walton
Adam has schizophrenia, he sees people that aren't there and sometimes he talks with them. But he's starting a new test drug to see if it will help. He's also supposed to go to therapy and talk to his therapist, but he doesn't. They sit in silence and Adam writes him a letter answering the questions that he didn't answer in person. Adam's trying his best, but its hard for him to listen to his mind so when he meets Maya he tries two follow his heart. And that means not telling her about his condition, because for once he just wants to feel like a normal teenage boy.
I loved this book. The display of schizophrenia and the way others viewed him for his illness was impeccable. I loved the structure of the book, they way it was written in journal entries was perfect. I also really enjoyed how medication was discussed and just overall this entire book was wonderful. And as someone who has an Aunt with untreated schizophrenia it was interesting to see Adam interact with his hallucinations knowing they weren't real.
