Life is full of regular teens going about their pretty dull, normal lives. Except Imogen is not one of them. Recently diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, her hallucinations are so vivid that she's armed herself with a take-no-shit attitude and her Polaroid camera-or any device that can snap reality back into place. She's a girl on a mission to stay sane enough to make it into college. But that plan backfires the second she meets him. Chase-a fiercely alluring and mysterious boy-standing in front of her at the rooftop of her high school on Prom night seems too good to be true. They talk. She hates it. Why? Because now she desperately wants their connection to be real. Hiding her illness to be the normal girl he thinks she is will be the beginning of everything. Before she knows it, they are wandering searching for what makes them feel alive, while she battles her demons for a love so strong to hush them for good. ✶✶✶ Witty, thought-provoking, and ultimately moving, this story will have you reading chapter after chapter trying to figure out what is real and what is not. Who said we can't fall in love with what we can't prove we made up? ✶✶✶ ⚠️WARNING: You should only be reading this on Wattpad. Anywhere else is sheer plagiarism⚠️
