Cameron and the Girls by Edward Averett
4.0
This quick read follows our 14 year old protagonist, Cameron, who has a form of schizophrenia. Cameron has decided to stop taking his medicine, just an experiment. The results are, perhaps, not what he expected.
Cameron meets a new voice, whom he names "The Girl." He thinks he may love The Girl. He also meets The Other Guy, who worries him. The Other Guy is mean and dangerous and Cameron worries he is getting too strong. But he knows if he takes his medicine, he will lose The Girl, too, and he can't handle that.
On top of the new voices, Cameron meets Nina, a new student in his Emotionally Disturbed Program at school. Nina and he are drawn to one another, although she doesn't like competing with The Girl.
This book details Cameron's struggles to reconcile the different aspects of himself, his illness, and his family. Because of it's unconventional story, I gave it 4 stars. I found myself wanting to revisit "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden."
