Words on Bathroom Walls by Julia Walton
3.0

Adam is diagnosed with schizophrenia, and as most people diagnosed with this mental illness he kept it a secret from everyone apart from his family in fear of their reaction after knowing, as most people do fear what they don't understand and avoid people diagnosed with this illness because they regard them as "dangerous" while in fact the vast majority of people battling this mental illness are not violent and do not pose a danger to others.

Adam's character is lovable and doesn't come along as dangerous, in fact the only harm he can do is just upon himself..

I loved this book and found it filled with information about schizophrenia, an illness which fascinates me..
I now can get a hint of what it's like to live with it ..

" It’s a very strange reality when you can’t trust yourself. There’s no foundation for anything. The faith I might have had in normal things like gravity or logic or love is gone because my mind might not be reading them correctly. You can’t possibly know what it means to doubt everything. To walk into a room full of people and pretend that it’s empty because you’re not actually sure if it is or not.
To never feel completely alone even when you are."
