Every Last Word handles OCD, bullying, and high school drama really well. I teared up a couple of times with Caroline and AJ. The Mom is amazing. The treatment plan for Sam is great, love how it's laid out. Also, the Author's Note should be read as well for more information and detail. Very touching.

I love the relaxing of beauty standards and being supportive and positive rather than judgemental. And how it's not automatic, but a constant realigning of automatic thoughts with new outlook.

Part of me was put off with the TWIST, the other part of me was crying. I'm okay with the lingering questions about it. I know what I think of it. Leaving the door cracked a little bit allows for wiggle room depending on your beliefs. Guess I'm loosening up about this stuff after reading more magical realism.
