i really liked this book, it was written in verse which is a different style of writting than what i normally read, but i loved it. it was a dark story, not much happy happens in it, in fact its not a happy story at all to say the least, but it does deal with real life situations. but that's what makes books like these so good, its there able to be related to. the main characers after all trying of off themselves or of feeling worthless in a way they end up at Aspen Springs a mental facility to help with there problems, they meet eachother and eventually for a bond but while still each facing there own demons, can they all over come there demons, and hold on to eachotehr as well as themselves. read this great book and you'll find out. i'll be reading more of ms. hopkins books for sure, and am waiting for her newest book which is out soon!!
