Six goodbyes we never said
(Book)

Teens Naima Rodriguez, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, and Dew Brickman, who has social anxiety, bond over their mutual loss of both parents.

Naima Rodriguez is trying to manage her complex OCD and GAD as she grieves her father, her hero-- a fallen Marine. She wants everyone to back the-eff off while she avoids friends and people and living the life her father so desperately wanted for her. Dew Brickman counts on his trusty voice recorder to convey the things he can't say aloud when processing the sudden loss of his parents. They're unlikely friends. But when Dew meets Naima, everything is changed-- just not in the way he, or she, expects. -- adapted from jacket
