But everything changes when Sam meets a girl named Caroline, who introduces her to a secret world full of words, stories, poetry, and misfits.
Will Sam be able to keep her OCD, new friends, and not to mention visits to her shrink, all while trying to fit in with the Crazy Eights?
First off, I have to admit, the words in this book make me want to cry, they're so beautiful and inspiring. I have NEVER read a book with such powerful words.
Pros
•I love the idea of Poet's corner, a special place where misfits can share there story and connect.
•I love how they hang their poems all over the wall.
•I love how Sam tries to find herself and changes for the greater good.
·I like that Sam used to be a bully in the past, it gives her some depth and shows that she done things she regrets.
Cons
•Sam and her boyfriend engage in pointless sex. We already know they're in love.
•Sam's OCD is kind of inconsistent and goes away when finds Poet's Corner and falls in love. Because friendship and love cures all mental disorders!
·Sam's boyfriend is very cliche. Hot guy that plays guitar, has a "tragic" backstory, and what a coincidence! He writes poetry! He's the exact perfect guy for Sam. Ugh.
*I didnt really have any favorite characters or least favorite characters, they all seem to go well with the story*
I rate Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone three out of five stars.
