It's so hard to review some books. I'm just not sure what I can say to make people see what I see in certain books.Crazy was... crazy, ha. Jason, the protag, was quirky and vulnerable. His battles hurt to read. I just wished as I was reading that if I could pray hard enough it would fix his life for him. That it would make his mom come back and his Dad's illness vanish. The descriptions of his father's mental illness, and his own internal struggles as he tried to cope felt so real. I just wanted someone to help him.Enter Haze, Pete and Shelby. The way the four of them banded together; it was exactly what Jason needed. And through these three friends and Dr. Gomez and all the new people who enter his life to help him heal, we as the reader get front row seats for his transformation. I can't tell you how many times I cried. I know that I cried at work, which has never happened. But more importantly, I was sure when I picked up this book that it was going to be an intense but depressing read. I was wrong; it was so much more then that. It was a book about staying strong and always fighting, and it was about hope and family. The bottom line is that this book is worth owning in print, for you to reread again.Thank you to the people who recommended it to me.
