Rae is beyond socially awkward. Since she was a little girl, Rae Swiggett knew something was different about her. The sound of planes flying overhead could spark a panic attack. Being called on in class was enough to push her over the edge. She feared the unknown, life, death, people . . . even fear itself. By the time she reached ninth grade, Rae was muddling through life in relative silence, convinced everyone was mocking her, judging her, picking her apart, bit by little bit. Rae knew she couldn't keep going on this way. She knew something had to give. 'It's a game of catch-22 I constantly play with myself. If I keep acting normal, I hope one day I will be, but every time I try, I just let myself down. I'm so entirely sick of this game.'

I'm not the intended audience for this book (it's clearly written for teens) but I just wanted to read about someone like me. I've only ever met one other such person in my life, so I guess we're pretty scarce.
In the book, Chelsea details much of her school life and the great pains she takes to avoid interacting with anyone, and to remain unnoticed. Occasionally she talks about her family life, which wanders off-topic a bit.
In the end she does find an escape, and manages to adjust her thinking about herself, although she's vague on how exactly this happens.
At the back of the book there are some adverts for other books in the 'Louder than Words' series, all involving girls and their teenage traumas, and all edited by the same person. I don't doubt that the things in 'Rae' are true (at least in essence) but this presentation makes it seem manufactured, like an Afterschool Special.
This book does not provide any answers or solutions, but I suppose if peers and educators read it and gain understanding, it might make their world a slightly kinder place. ( )
