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.

I just finished this book today, and once again Ellen Hopkins has outdone herself. The characters were very fascinating and realistic--I could empathize with all the main characters easily. And the ending--tragically powerful. To me, besides being entertaining, this book delivers a lot of messages that I think many of us need to hear.

I must admit that I liked Crank and Glass more, but Ellen Hopkins yet again blew me away with another great read.

I loved this book, but i felt like i was kind of dragging myself along during the book because i hated when they had a day to day story. But the end had me at the edge of my bed/seat.
