Call Me Crazy
by Quinn Loftis
Synopsis
“I’m looking out from inside the chaos. It must
be a one-way mirror because no one seems to be able to see back inside
to where I am. The looks on their faces, the judgment in their eyes,
tells me everything I need to know. The most frustrating part about
the whole messed up situation is that even though I’m the one that
they stare at in shock, I am just as shocked as they are. I know no
more than they do of why I lose control. What they don’t know is that
I am more scared of myself than they could ever be.” ~ Tally Baker
After a devastating turn of events, seventeen year
old Tally Baker is admitted to Mercy Psychiatric Facility where she
is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. She has come to a place where she
honestly believes that her life is over. Her mind tells her that she
will never smile or laugh again, that she will never be normal again.
It is in this unlikely place that she meets two people, different in
every way, yet both critical to helping her realize that she has so
much more living to do.
Candy, a cantankerous sixty year old Mercy Psychiatric
patient, is hell bent on driving everyone as crazy as she is. Candy
shows Tally that, regardless of her diagnosis, the ability to push on
and live her life to the fullest is her choice and hers alone. In the
midst of Tally’s oftentimes humorous, sometimes heart-wrenching, escapades
with Candy, a new patient is admitted to Mercy—a Native American woman
named Lolotea. Along with this new patient comes a daily visitor, her
son, Trey Swift. At first glance, it is obvious to Tally that he is
incredibly handsome and unbelievably caring. But what she learns through
her second glance, and many thereafter, is that there is much more to
Trey than he ever lets on. It is during these daily visits that Trey
and Tally build a friendship far deeper than either of them truly realize.
With Trey, Tally feels for the first time since being admitted that
someone is looking at her as a person and not as a disease. Trey begins
to make it clear that he wants more than friendship, but she knows that
she can never give him more. How can she, when she won’t even give
him the truth? Tally doesn’t tell Trey that she is a patient
at Mercy, and she doesn’t ever plan to. Her plans go up in flames
when she finds out that Trey is a new student at her school, the school
where her brokenness was found out in the floor of the girl’s bathroom
in a pool of her own blood.
Review:
5/5 Stars
Call me crazy has to be One of the most inspiring, Emotional, Amazing
books I've read to date. I laughed, cried and then learned a lot about
what people who have bipolar disorder go through and how amazingly
strong they are.
Tally Baker Is only 17 years old, When she is admitted to Mercy
Psychiatric Facility, Where she is diagnosed With bipolar disorder. Her
parents are not really there for her All they do is work. The only
person she can count on is her best friend. That is until she meets
candy, who is a 60 years old
Psychiatric patient who is trying to drive everybody crazy. I love candy
she's one of my favorite characters in the book. She also teaches Tally
a lot of important lessions throughout the book. Candy was one of the characters that inspired me the most because of things she tought Tally
And she's definitely not Afraid to say what's on your mind Even if its
something dirty. Hehe
Then there is Trey, Tally's Love interest. He is always there for her no matter what, The amount of patience this man has is amazing Because his and Tally's Relationship is anything but easy.
I really hope you pick up this amazing story To read And I hope That it
captures your heart like it did mine. When you pick it up and start
reading it's nearly impossible to put down, Very beautifully written!!
