Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley

4.0

This continued to be just a little bit different from what I expected throughout, in a really good way. Lisa comes up with a great plan to get into the college of her dreams and decided to befriend and secretly cure Solomon, who hasn't left his house in 3 years due to intense agoraphobia and panic disorder. She drags her boyfriend, Clark, into it as well and the the three teens develop in surprising ways.

Despite Lisa's highly unethical plan for Solomon, this book handles mental illness in a sensitive, but not overly sentimental way. The three main characters feel real and not sensationalized in any way. There are no easy answers here and that's the book's biggest strength.
