Publisher Description

Anna Bloom is depressed–so depressed that her parents have committed her to a mental hospital with a bunch of other messed-up teens. Here, she meets a roommate with a secret (and a plastic baby), a doctor who focuses way too much on her weight, and a cute, shy boy who just might like her. But wait! Being trapped in a loony bin isn’t supposed to be about making friends, losing weight, and having a crush, is it? In her fiction debut, Julie Halpern finds humor in the unlikeliest of places, and presents a character whose voice–and heart–will resonate with all of us who have ever felt just a little bit crazy.

    " when i was a t(w)een, i wasn't much for the sick-and-dying girl books. lurlene mcdaniel's never made any money off of me. but crazy girl (or boy) books i was all about. so, i would've been all over this one. and even as a grown-up who isn't quite as attracted to the crazy, i still liked it.

    " It's rather cheesy. It took place in a psych unit of a hospital. However, it had some twists I wasn't quiet expecting, albeit the twists were rather cheesy. I did enjoy it as a nice fluffy read. "

    " I loved this book! It went inside the head of someone with anxiety and depression, which not many books have been able to do. It could have been more action filled but I still loved the book in general. "

    " Julie Halpern captures the anxiety ridden yet ambivalent teenage voice perfectly here, and creates a really unique narrative deals with mental illness in an honest and nonjudgmental way. However, sometimes that voice is so well captured that our narrator gets a little annoying. "

    " Wow, this is like the coolest book ever. Written from a new perspective, the main character starts out as writing a letter to her friend instead of a journal. Because apparently journals don't help very well. Some edgy parts, but definitely a good pick from the bookshelf, as far as random goes. "

    " This was on the banded reading list. Why? It is about a girl who is going through lots of issues in her teens. She is sent to treatment and the book follows her progress. It makes me think that I don't ever want to be a teenager again. "

    " Interesting. Similar to Suicide Notes, but, I think, more girly and flight-y, wishy-washy. The character is believeable, but the main conflict is not as drastic nor interesting. It's a chick-flick hybrid, so it might not stick with everyone. "
