Good Enough

Good Enough is a fast, jagged hypnotic read. Fans of The Fault in Our Stars, Eleanor and Park and Perks of Being a Wallflower will love this new young adult novel.


Simon Baker is completely fine. Except that he wakes up to find that his parents have had him committed to Palmdale Psychiatric Hospital after a failed suicide attempt. Clearly, it must be a mistake, forget about his anxiety, the bandages on his arm, his fallout with his best friend, and the secrets he's been keeping from his parents. Simon is completely, totally, perfectly normal. But the longer he spends in Palmdale, the more he understands his illness. Here, Simon has a second chance, and with the other patient's help, he is finally able to confront and fight the demons that brought him there in the first place.


Compelling, witty, and gritty, Good Enough is a sharp, heartbreaking, emotional journey. From the author of the Amazon Bestseller Delicate, Gemma Donoghue examines the things that connect us.
