Anxiety Girl

By Vanessa Monica Serrao

What happens when you have everything you're supposed to want, but can't feel
anything at all?
Monica has just graduated college. She's a gifted writer with passionate songs that move
everyone who hears them. Her parents are supportive, her boyfriend is devoted, and her best
friend is always there. From the outside, her life looks like success.
But inside, Monica is falling apart.
Anxiety and depression have stolen her motivation, her joy, her future. Every night is spent
lying awake, trapped in spiraling thoughts about a life that feels meaningless. Her sister Andrea
says she needs a job. Her doctor says she needs treatment. But Monica doesn't think anything
will help.
Then a fortune cookie changes everything.
Guided by this mysterious message, Monica takes a job at a local restaurant-a chaotic,
bustling world filled with unexpected friendships and hard-earned wisdom. As she navigates
demanding customers, late-night shifts, and coworkers who see past her carefully constructed
walls, Monica begins to understand the anxiety that's been controlling her life.
But understanding isn't the same as healing. And as Monica opens herself to the possibilities
the universe is offering, she must confront the questions she's been avoiding: What does she
actually want from life? Who does she want to become? And can she find the courage to
choose her own path-even when anxiety tells her she'll fail?
Anxiety Girl is an honest, insightful exploration of mental illness, self-discovery, and the messy,
beautiful process of learning to live with your own mind. Perfect for readers who loved The
Perks of Being a Wallflower and It's Kind of a Funny Story.
