The only reason it's not a full five stars is because there were a few bits that I felt went on for too long, but overall I thought it was wonderfully well done. I need you to say that you'll love me whether I change the world or not. It's rare for me to find a book that writes anxiety well. Few enough do, but this one definitely makes the list. I'm utterly impressed with Sheinmel's writing and understanding of anxiety. Fair play. I lie awake, going over every single word I said that day (and lucky for me, I have a really good memory so I can usually remember exactly what was said), wondering whom I might have offended, what I might have done wrong, what terrible thing will come back to haunt me ... The story itself focuses on Maya and Junie, two girls struggling with a variety of problems. Maya's boyfriend has been abusing her for months, but the final straw comes when he slaps her so hard across the face that it leaves a bruise, and Maya goes into her principal's office and tells her what's been happening. The problem is, everyone loves Mike. Instantly, some people believe her; inevitably, many don't. Junie on the other hand, is struggling with OCD and cutting, and desperately frets over her relationship with her girlfriend Tess. The story unfolds over just one week and how Maya's confession changes everything for both girls and at their school. My favourite characters were Maya and Hiram, the so-called 'loser stoner' who is also the only one to stand up to Mike. Hiram was just lovely. The point that's emphasised over and over again by Maya is that he asks, he waits, he listens. Hiram is also the only person to notice how Mike's treating Maya before the confession comes. Hiram listens to me. Junie listens. They do more than listen - they ask. This is one of those books that gets it, I think. The struggles victims go through when it comes to bringing their stories forward. The doubt and vitriol they face. Even Maya's own best friend doubts her at points. Maya herself doubts, doubts, doubts. But the book address these emotions with raw honesty and compassion. Totally, totally recommend.
