I Am Not Okay with This (Paperback)
Basically, the overall story revolves around Syd, a fifteen-year-old girl who has a lot going on at the moment. Well, not only is she ashamed of the way she looks -- she's skinny, just not 'super-hot' skinny -- but she's also having a tough time dealing with the death of her father. All this, without mentioning the fact that a homophobic bully is dating her best friend (who she's secretly in love with).
So, to counteract these feelings of loss, sadness, and despair, Syd’s guidance counselor gives her a diary in which to vent her frustrations in, even though Syd has another outlet to vent her anger, one which threatens to overwhelm her entirely. Want to know more? Then please check out the following eleven-page preview. Please enjoy.
