Obsessive-compulsive teen Clarissa wants to get better, if only so her mother will stop asking her if she's okay. Andrew wants to overcome his eating disorder so he can get back to his band and their dreams of becoming famous. Film aficionado Ben would rather live in the movies than in reality. Gorgeous and overly confident Mason thinks everyone is an idiot. And Stella just doesn't want to be back for her second summer of wilderness therapy.
Reviews with the most likes.
Writing a book that weaves together five distinct points of view is an incredibly difficult thing to do successfully, and I feel like the author really bit off more than she could chew. The book starts promisingly enough but quickly becomes confused; none of the narrators have a distinct enough voice to make following the plot easy. And it's difficult to sustain an interest in a story when you don't know what's going on. The fact that the characters all feel like stock compilations of mental patients really doesn't help.
I recieved this book free through Goodreads from the publisher in exchange for a review.
