It's a heartwrenching book that deals with a lot of difficult topics, but in a way in which it doesn't glorify it.

The metaphors get too cryptic, and at some points not needed.

I knew this book was going to be heartbreaking to read—and I was right.  However, it was also funny and all so wholesome at times too.  The writing was truly beautiful to read to learn their stories and to read lines in the book that felt all too relatable at times.  Just a nice found family doing their best to live their lives to the fullest for however long they can.  It was truly a lovely read.

A challenging but profound read about a bunch of young people who live/spend time at the hospital for a variety of reasons. The story is of how they came to be bonded and how they survive and understand each other through the trauma of their situations. Emotionally challenging but very worth it.
