I am reviewing a copy of When Elephants Fly through Harlequin Teen and Netgalley:

T. Lillian Decker is a high school Senior who has a twelve year plan she's going to avoid stress, drugs, alcohol and boyfriends. She’s going to take regular patch quizses given to her by her best friend, Sawyer, to make sure she's not becoming a schizophrenic.

Lillian knows genetics are not on her side, when she was seven her Mother who had paranoid Schizophrenia had tried to kill her. A secret has revealed her odds are even worse than she thought. There is a chance to avoid triggering the mental health condition, if Lily can live a careful life from eighteen to thirteen when schizophrenia usually manifests.

When a newspaper internship results in Lily having to see a Mother elephant trying to kill her three week old calf. With Swiftly in danger of dying from grief, Lily must decide to risk everything including her sanity to save Swiftly.

I give When Elephants fly five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
