YA
Mel has an uncommon form of bipolar disorder that causes her moods to shift rapidly--and dangerously--between mania and depression. She keeps her disorder private, but secrecy leads to isolation; when Mel's moods destabilize--characterized by unnervingly frantic narration--she needs help from others to stay safe. Mel's struggle to take her condition seriously without letting it define her life is heart-rending.

Blind high-school junior Parker has created rules to help sighted people interact with her. Now that another high school has merged with hers, there's a new group of students who need to learn The Rules, including ex-boyfriend Scott, an unforgivable rule-breaker. A nuanced, compassionate portrait of what it's like to live with a disability and of a girl who's much more than her limitations.
