Highly Illogical Behavior, by John Corey Whaley, ages 14 and up.
"One morning when I was in middle school, a boy I didn't know stripped off his clothes and jumped into the fountain in front of my school. And then he disappeared. For three years, I didn't hear any else about him. His name is Solomon Reed, and he is my personal experience with mental illness. But, he shouldn't be. I had no right to do what I did, but he said it was okay. He said I could write this."
Highly Illogical Behavior is not a book about a doctor and her patient, it is a story about friends.
In my opinion, this book was a great illustration of the struggles of trying to juggle school, family, and friends. It also shows the main character's struggles with being gay, and that character trying to juggle his feelings and his friendships. In this book, you will see breakups, heartbrokenness, and sadness, but at the same time, you will see happiness and joy within the characters. Overall, this book is a fantastic coming of age story that demonstrates the struggles of life.
