![]() ![]() ![]() He is never actively shown talking to people the entire book. And the character never really seems to learn how his words might hurt someone else. Once I finished the book I actually went back and put a bookmark on every scene I found uncomfortable or possibly offensive because of the usage of the word ‘crazy’ and I actually ended up with 34 different instances and I feel like that is too much. ![]() But I want someone to talk in more detail about this who has experience with this! All I can say is that I didn’t like reading a character referring to himself and others as ‘crazy’ for a mental health illness. I can’t tell you if this is a me thing or something that would be considered offensive by someone who actually lives with a mental health illness like schizophrenia. I was really uncomfortable with the way the main character Adam (who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is taking part in a trial for a new drug) constantly referred to himself and others suffering from schizophrenia as ‘crazy’ or ‘crazies’. I even considered DNFing it multiple times but finished reading it in the end. ![]() Words On Bathroom Walls was a book I didn’t enjoy from pretty much the get-go. I got approved for this eARC via NetGalley and finally read it. This is the second review you’ll read from me where I don’t know how to write it, but unlike my previous one (where I loved the book) the reasons for me not knowing how to write this are entirely different. ![]()
