Every Last Word

Tamara Ireland Stone

In Every Last Word, Samantha McAllister is a popular teen girl who hides a big secret: she has Purely Obsessional OCD, a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder that fills her head with constant, unwanted thoughts. Her life starts to change when she meets a new group of friends through a secret poetry club at school.

As Sam discovers the healing power of writing and self-expression, she begins to question what’s really important—and who she really is. This emotionally rich story sheds light on mental illness, toxic friendships, and the courage it takes to be yourself.
