Cameron and the Girls by Edward Averett is about a boy who suffers from Schizophrenia disorder. As he is trying to cope with his life, the medication he takes affecting his ability to be motivated and have consistent emotions, when he decides to do a little experiment: he stops taking his medication. He wants to be able to feel things again, things the medication prevents. Some of the side effects from not taking his medicine are easy to deal with: a slight buzzing in his head, a few voices, no big deal. He has one primary voice that he hears that he has come to terms with but, after a few days off the meds, he begins to hear a new voice. A girl's voice. He falls in love with her while a girl at his school is falling in love with him. As he continues down the path of no medication and listening to the girl in his head, some obstacles block his way. It's a fantastic book to really get you thinking. I honestly could not put it down! I definitely recommend this for anyone who is a fan of psychological books.
