I Don't Want to Be Crazy
by Samantha Schutz
This book wasn't as good as I expected it to be, but it wasn't that bad either.
I was ready to jump right into the story of her anxiety problems, but the whole beginning is talking about graduating high school and her boyfriend and starting college and stuff. Also, once it got started, it went a little too fast. One minute it talks about her moving into college, the next it talks about the year ending, then it's already talking about her graduating. I guess you could say it was weird because it started so slowly and then suddenly was going to fast.
It's written in poems, but wasn't very "poetic," meaning that if I had read it out loud you probably wouldn't be able to tell it was supposed to be written in poems.
You can see the main character's struggles, but it describes more what is happening to her physically than how she is feeling, so it can be a little hard getting into her head. Perhaps it's because I don't have anxiety issues. Maybe if I did I would understand the book a little bit better. Then again, books like this are good for explaining things to people that don't understand. Props to the author though-- this is her memoir. So I give her loads of respect for that.
