Other People

Painfully shy and socially awkward, Ginny avoids engaging in a world filled with "other people" as best as she can. After a failed suicide attempt, Ginny is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and begins a journey towards improving her distraught life. In her quest to fit in among other people, Ginny studies the behaviors of her picture-perfect new neighbors, Jim and Nina, and tries her best to mimic their life skills. But, will Ginny's attempts to be one of the other people help her fit into their world, or send her crashing back deeper into the dark, isolated world she is desperately trying to escape?

"Ms. O'Callan has once again demonstrated that she is a master at storytelling. Her characters' imperfections make this novel sheer perfection!" --- Catherine Wright, Bucks County Review
