Addie loves nothing more than curling up on the couch with her dog, Duck, and watching The Great British Baking Show with her mom. It's one of the few things that can help her relax when her OCD kicks into overdrive. She counts everything. All the time. She can't stop. Rituals and rhythms. It's exhausting. When Fitz was diagnosed with schizophrenia, he named the voices in his head after famous country singers. He loves puns, foreign films, and T-shirts with witty sayings. The adolescent psychiatric ward at Seattle Regional Hospital isn't exactly the ideal place to meet your soul mate, but when Addie meets Fitz, they immediately connect over their shared love of words, appreciate each other's quick wit, and wish they could both make more sense of their lives. Fitz is haunted by his past, and he's often not sure what's real. One memory weighs heavily on his mind-a tragic death he fears he may have caused-but he knows if he can just get to San Juan Island, everything will be okay. If not, he risks falling into a downward spiral that may keep him in the hospital indefinitely. Escaping the hospital becomes the first step of a journey for Fitz and Addie as they learn about life and love, forgiveness and courage, and what's necessary to let go and what's worth waiting for.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Eek. I was excited to read about teens in a psych ward, but the whole book just seemed far-fetched. I'll set aside the medical things that were incorrect or inconsistent. I understand it's fiction. But I just can't see a lot of this happening.
The story was hard to read. I hated Addie's voice. The things she said felt like she was trying to be cool, but were just really off-putting. There was also a lot of very long, very random conversations that I ended up just skimming over.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to recommend this one.
