An overall good tale of suicidal teens in a psych facility. A quick read completed in just a couple hours, thanks to the "poetic" style it is written in. Some questions are left unanswered but they are minor. A sequel would pique my interest. My biggest complaint is the "teenagers fall in love and are cured of their deep seated mental illnesses" arc that many books like this tend to put out there. It just isn't believable.
