Description
High schooler Natalie Cordova has just been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. Her mom insists she keep it secret.
Putting up a front and hiding her mental illness from her classmates is going to be the hardest thing Natalies ever done. Its her senior year, and shes just been selected to present her artwork at a prestigious show. With the stress of performing building, it doesnt help when Natalie notices a boy who makes her heart leap. And then theres fellow student Ella, who confronts Natalie about her summer car accident and pressures her into caring for the worlds ugliest dog. Now Natalie finds herself juggling all kinds of feels and responsibilities. Surely her newly prescribed medication is to blame for the funk in which she finds herself. But as Natalies plan to self-treat unravels, so does the perfect fade shes been painting for everyone else.
Written from experience, this contemporary YA is a heartfelt and candid exploration into the shame surrounding mental illness and offers an uplifting narrative where the protagonist doesnt die at the end.
