The problem with crazy is that crazy, by itself, has no context. It can be good crazy, bad crazy ... or crazy crazy—like it was when my ex-boyfriend sung about me on the radio.
Eighteen-year-old Kate couldn’t be more excited about finishing high school and spending the summer on tour with her boyfriend’s band. Her dad showing up drunk at graduation, however, is not exactly kicking things off on the right foot—and that’s before she finds out about his mystery illness, certain to end in death.
A mystery illness that she could inherit.
Kate has to convince everyone around her that her father is sick, not crazy. But who will be harder to convince? Her friends? Or herself?
The Problem With Crazy is a story about love and life; about overcoming obstacles, choosing to trust, and learning how to make the choices that will change your life forever.
The Problem With Crazy Crazy in Love Book 1 eBook Lauren K McKellar
The Problem With Crazy blew me away. I stayed up till after midnight -- on a work night, no less -- thinking "just one more chapter". It's such an emotional rollercoaster of a book. Right from the first chapter, Kate, our main character, is left reeling with the sudden changes to her life. Graduation. Her drunk, absentee father turning up and embarrassing her. Discovering that he has Huntington's Disease, and that she might have it too.Her boyfriend's, ah, less-than-stellar reaction to the news.
Dave. Ah, Dave. I don't think I've ever hated a character as much as I hate Kate's boyfriend, a wannabe rockstar and lead singer of Dave & the Glories. Even before Dave finds out about Kate's potential illness it's clear he's a jerk, dismissing Kate's organising of the band's tour as "making a couple of phone calls", when clearly she'd worked her butt off. I thought after the way he broke up with her he couldn't sink any lower.
But he did.
I won't say how due to spoilers, but I was reading this on my Kindle and had to physically restrain myself from throwing it across the room. (That scene was one of the THREE TIMES times I cried reading this book.)
On the other hand, there are some truly wonderful characters, including Lachlan -- probably the sweetest book boyfriend ever -- Stacey, and even Kate's dad, as ill as he is. His neurodegenerative disease actually gives him a much more cheerful outlook on life, something that Kate and her mother slowly come to appreciate. Between Lachlan and her dad, Kate learns to live in the moment and appreciate what's happening now rather than being terrified of the future.
I have all of the love for this book.

The Problem With Crazy Crazy in Love Book 1 eBook Lauren K McKellar Reviews
“The problem with crazy is just that—crazy. It can be good crazy or bad crazy or crazy crazy.”
Kate just graduated high school and is about to go on tour with her boyfriend and his band—away from her parents and this sleepy town. What should’ve been a memorable day and a promising start to a future ended up being an embarrassment when her estranged father shows up drunk at the ceremony. She is angered and humiliated…until she learns that her dad is sick with a disease that will take away his speech, his behavior, and his mind. He will die from it, and she learns that it might be hereditary.
Things are crumbling all around her. She might lose her mind and she might die, so what’s the point? Then she meets this dude outside her couselor’s office with optimistic views on life. He lives by trying everything once. No regrets. If it hurts or gets hard, it’ll be worth it. He’s all about living in the present. And, yes, that’s an annoying belief, but he has a point.
Writing was okay and the story seemed interesting at first, but my pain problem was that it was too slow and had too many useless parts. The girl is just worried about going crazy and she does, I think. Yes, you feel for the character in the sense that you, along with her, hope that she doesn't get the disease, but she drives herself nuts over it, so much to the point that it consumes her. Point is that crazy is the main theme here. Crazy!
Let me start by saying that I have been trying to write this review for weeks, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Lauren McKeller at my very first author signing event in March and she is without a doubt one of the funniest, sweetest people I have had the pleasure to meet. I had The Problem With Crazy sitting on my kindle for a little while, I picked up my signed paperback copy at the event and I felt like it was staring at me, goading me to pick it up and finally dig in. When I finally had a day off, I picked it up and started the journey, the experience that is The Problem With Crazy, in the effort of having full disclosure I was warned about how life changing McKeller's story was, how life changing it is, how I needed tissues, and possible a bottle of wine at the ready.
So what's it about, I warn you, I'm going to be deliberately vague because you need to experience this story as blind as possible. Kate has her life planned out, but what do you do when your perfect existence, everything you took for granted - boyfriend, family, career aspirations, health all come crashing down around her, leaving her lost, scared and alone, with no light and the end of the tunnel?
Lauren weaves a story of harrowing pain and tragedy, a world so dark at times that it left me as the reader feeling alone and distraught. The Problem With Crazy is a story that despite absolutely destroying me, in ways I didn't even know was possible, ultimately healed me, it's message, life affirming. Weeks on and I can't stop thinking about McKeller's words, her characters, the world she created. Breath taking is the only way I can find to describe the sheer beauty of TPWC.
