This is a good representation of mental health!! I'm new to the NA genre but I really enjoyed this book for what it is rather than something it's not. Four stars for sure!!!

Adam and Jenny’s world is falling apart. Their dream of attending college together away from home quickly becomes a nightmare when Adam begins hearing the voice of the Snow Queen. Adam’s startling transformation from popular drama student into a withdrawn, suspicious stranger leaves Jenny frightened and confused. How can the person she loves most in the world suddenly become someone she doesn’t recognize? As Adam drifts farther and farther away into the Snow Queen’s mysterious world of ice and snow, Jenny believes she must fight to bring him back or risk losing him forever.
This was a great story. It was well written. I loved both characters. I think this is the first time I’ve actually read a book that deals with mental illness and speaking from experience, I thought the author did an excellent job of putting it to paper. I highly recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

This book captures the journey of first love and mental illness. Once Adam begins hearing the voice of the Snow Queen, everything falls apart for him and Jenny. They struggle with his mental illness and their young love. The author captured the loss of innocence and first love to mental illness and the struggle of repairing a broken relationship in a realistic way. Definitely recommend this one!

This was a very disturbing book for me. It showed the depths of mental illness and how it affects daily life and relationships. I felt for both main characters during the whole book. It was very good, sad but good.

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the chance to read and review "Losing Adam"
by Adrienne Clarke. This book was a gateway into what mental illness is like for some people. The story line was decent. I hated how much Jenny was dependent upon Adam. Overall, a good book.

Newly in college, Adam is hearing voices. Specifically, one voice: the Snow Queen, right out of the fairy tale. His girlfriend Jenny is determined not to let him slip away, but with Adam’s intruder getting ever more insistent, will she lose him, the real him, forever? A well-told and fully-realized story of two young people learning to deal with mental health, with first love gone wrong and with starting over after everything falls apart. Excellent.

4 stars.

I had no idea what to expect from this book. I was blown away! I really loved how the author handled mental illness. The way the story was told between Adam and Jenny was written beautifully. I had not read a book like this and I enjoyed going down the rabbit hole and learning, seeing a glimpse inside of the mind of someone going through this journey. i would highly recommend reading this story, so well written.

On the cover we see Jenny with her eyes closed and her air concentrated. And in fondue chained on the face of Jenny we see Adam walking alone on the edge of a road.

It all starts when Adam begins to hear the voice of the Snow Queen. For Jenny it's going to be hard to see him like that, she does not recognize it anymore, their dream of going to college collapses. She will fight to bring it back to reality.

A wonderful love story told from Jenny and Adam's point of view that I almost read in one go. I put myself directly in the skin of Jenny: how to do when the person we love drifts from day to day, aside to fight with her to bring it back to reality. A good well written book with a gripping story, endearing characters. I recommand it.

Mental illness is a real thing and this book demonstrates this well. This story was so raw and full of emotion. It pulls you right into the story and you just want to help Adam. College is scary enough when a teenager moves away but this just added to the story. I give this 4 stars for making me more aware of mental illness and how scary it can be. This book was given to me free of charge by NetGalley in return for an honest review and all opinions are my own. Thank you for this book.
