On the outside, Mira seems to have it all together: good grades, almost always on time, a smile at just the right moment. But beneath this facade, she's battling anxiety, self-doubt, and the constant pressure to be perfect.
Her strategy: counting-steps, breaths, seconds-along with meticulous plans, color-coded lists, and the attempt to control everything.

When she gets Jonah as her partner in biology class, something begins to change. Jonah sees what others don't: the small cracks in Mira's perfection, the erasing of breaks, her retreat into numbers, and the sudden silences. He doesn't push-but he stays.

Slowly, Mira learns that she doesn't have to carry everything alone. But to accept help, she has to be willing to tear down her walls-and that might be the hardest step of all.

I'm Fine (Only Sometimes) is an authentic young adult novel about mental health, self-discovery, and friendship. A quiet, profound story for ages 14 and up that shows it's okay not to always be strong-and that just one person can make all the difference.
