About this listen

"Naudus brings emotion, life, and energy to the story...her expert range of voices helps the listener picture Ellie’s friends and fellow residents at the hospital house. Her emotion-driven performance matches the heartfelt tone of the overall story and reels the reader in, ensuring the reader can empathize with Ellie, who is struggling to find her normal."—Booklist

The Breakfast Club meets Five Feet Apart in this big-hearted novel from debut author Gretchen Schreiber.

Ellie Haycock has always separated her life into sections: Ellie at home and Ellie at the hospital. At home, Ellie is a proud member of her high school’s speech and debate team alongside her best friend and her boyfriend. At the hospital, Ellie has a team of doctors and a mom who won’t stop posting about the details of her illness online. It’s not hard for Ellie to choose which of the two she prefers.

But this latest hospital stay is different. Ellie becomes close with a group of friends, including Ryan, a first-timer who’s still optimistic about the doctors that Ellie stopped trusting years ago. Despite their differences, she can’t seem to keep him out of her head. Ellie’s life has never been ordinary—but maybe this time it will be extraordinary.

Critic reviews

"Told with sparkling wit and endless charm. I fell in love with Ellie Haycock! I think you will too. Either way.. she is totally fine."—Reese Witherspoon

"Gretchen Schreiber's writing is honest, raw, and funny. She seamlessly weaves a story of hurt and humor with beautiful prose and characters that already feel like old friends. With friendship, family, cute boys, and how to stop seeing yourself through the lens of other people's definitions, Ellie is the coming-of-age story everyone should read."—Kristin Dwyer, author of Some Mistakes Were Made

"Schreiber employs witty banter and acerbic first-person narration to unravel complexities of disability identity as Ellie learns to self-advocate, redefines what 'normal' means to her, and reckons with how chronic illness can affect relationships with others and oneself."—Publishers Weekly

Beautiful and gripping!

This was as thrilling as any rollercoaster, and I didn't want to get off until it was over. I loved every character, even when I didn't entirely agree with or understand completely what they were going through. This is a story that I finished and am going to turn right around and start over. Possibly many times.
