Slowly, she begins to feel more “normal” than she ever has as part of the popular crowd. Sam is drawn to them immediately, especially a guitar-playing guy with a talent for verse, and starts to discover a whole new side of herself.
Caroline introduces Sam to Poet’s Corner, a hidden room and a tight-knit group of misfits who have been ignored by the school at large. So when Sam meets Caroline, she has to keep her new friend with a refreshing sense of humor and no style a secret, right up there with Sam’s weekly visits to her psychiatrist. Yet Sam knows she’d be truly crazy to leave the protection of the most popular girls in school. But hidden beneath the straightened hair and expertly applied makeup is a secret that her friends would never understand: Sam has Purely-Obsessional OCD and is consumed by a stream of dark thoughts and worries that she can’t turn off. Second-guessing every move, thought, and word makes daily life a struggle, and it doesn’t help that her lifelong friends will turn toxic at the first sign of a wrong outfit, wrong lunch, or wrong crush. Samantha McAllister looks just like the rest of the popular girls in her junior class. Synopsis: If you could read my mind, you wouldn’t be smiling. Would you rather see me review Lady Midnight next or give my opinion on the Miss Peregrine’s movie trailer? Let me know down in the comments below! In finally accepting herself and her illness, Samantha is able to let others, like AJ and the Poet's Corner members, see her true self.Happy Friday guys! Why not spend the last day of the school week with a book review, but without any spoilers. While the manifestations of her illness seem innocuous at first, such as needing to adhere to the number three, Samantha must come to terms with her mental instability when she realizes that her friendship with Caroline is a figment of her mind. That transformation is taken to its apex when Samantha ditches the Crazy Eights entirely, in favor of a new life with her boyfriend AJ and the other writerly misfits of Poet’s Corner. Samantha undergoes a transformation, which becomes particularly evident in Chapter 33, when she first stands up for herself and AJ to the Crazy Eights. When she discovers a new friendship with Caroline, she is divided between the Crazy Eights and the members of Poet’s Corner. She is part of the clique known as the Crazy Eights, which is a girl group that is considered teenage royalty at Samantha’s high school. For all intents and purposes, she is regarded as one of the “popular” girls at school.
Samantha, also known as “Sam,” is a pretty, brown-haired 16-year-old girl who suffers from OCD.
