Description
Riley Cavanaugh's life is a complex mix of emotions and identities. As a punk rock enthusiast, snarky commentator, and rebellious teenager, Riley struggles to find their place in the world. With a congressman father running for reelection in Orange County, the pressure is mounting. To cope with these feelings, Riley starts an anonymous blog to express themselves honestly. As the blog gains traction, Riley's life becomes increasingly complicated. A mysterious outcast catches their eye, and developing feelings for this person adds another layer of uncertainty. But when a commenter discovers Riley's true identity, they must decide whether to walk away from the blog or stand up and risk everything. This powerful debut novel explores what it means to be human in a world that often struggles to understand. With its honest and moving portrayal of a modern teenager navigating high school, relationships, and self-discovery, Symptoms of Being Human is a compelling read for anyone looking for a authentic story about identity and belonging.
