Camryn Matthews has always tried to do everything right. Plan everything. Think everything through. Control everything, even her own thoughts, even her own feelings. But when the person she thought she loved most rejects her, her mind will not stop. It loops. It spirals. It asks the same questions over and over. Four months into her relationship with Chelsea Knight, Cam tells her she loves her and when it is not returned, she cannot stop thinking about it. She replays every conversation, every look, every small gesture she thought meant something, and she cannot make sense of any of it.
Then a car crash leaves her broken in ways she never expected. Physically. Emotionally. Mentally. She has to face the thoughts she has tried to ignore, the anxiety she cannot control, the obsessive patterns that have ruled her life for as long as she can remember. She has to figure out how to live with herself, how to untangle her feelings, how to let go of what she cannot hold. Between friendships that shift, family dynamics she barely understands, and the relentless pressures of high school, Cam learns that surviving herself is harder than surviving anyone else and maybe it is the only thing that matters.
Neurotic is a raw, intimate, and sometimes funny dive into the mind of a teenager who has to learn how to stop chasing what she cannot control, to stop overthinking every word and every look, and to finally reclaim herself. It is about love, heartbreak, obsession, and the messy, complicated work of learning to live inside your own brain without losing yourself.
