This book is about Steve, a teenage boy's, journey to a psychiatric hospital after his mother dies, his father becomes depressed and his brother commits suicide. It is a realistic story of a boy and his journey through heartache, death drugs, and love. This is not a book for someone looking for a happy story, it is just a true to life, grity, down on the front lines of teenage angst, type of story.
I liked the way the author wrote the book as if Steve was writing in his journal. I really felt like he was talking directly to you, even when he jumped around a little. It made the book feel more real and it also made it a quick read. you are able to sympathized with Steve though out the book.
However this book is not for a young teenager. It contains talk of sex, drugs, and suicide in details at some points. I would relate this book to Catcher in the Rye.
