Beschreibung
Sometimes you don't wake up. But if you happen to, you know things will never be the same. Three lives, three different paths to the same destination: Aspen Springs, a psychiatric hospital for those who have attempted the ultimate act -- suicide. Vanessa is beautiful and smart, but her secrets keep her answering the call of the blade. Tony, after suffering a painful childhood, can only find peace through pills. And Conner, outwardly, has the perfect life. But dig a little deeper and find a boy who is in constant battle with his parents, his life, himself. In one instant each of these young people decided enough was enough. They grabbed the blade, the bottle, the gun -- and tried to end it all. Now they have a second chance, and just maybe, with each other's help, they can find their way to a better life -- but only if they're strong and can fight the demons that brought them here in the first place.

Ellen Hopkins, you have done it again! WOW! This brilliant piece of literature touches on so many topics that we need to discuss and acknowledge but are so afraid to. Finally, these thoughts we probably have all had once in our lives are written. And by the end, I was in tears!

This was the first of Ellen Hopkins books that I read, and it is definately my favorite of hers. The story is well written and gives each character an extremely real personality. It's an extremely powerful and exceptional book.
