This book is about a person named Sam, Sam and their friends who live in the hospital, they all have different illnesses and problems within their lives.  Sam isn't like most people, Sam isn't necessarily a person either. This book made me cry more than five times, it explains the problems all the friends are having while Sam explains their own, and if you relate to certain people in the book it hurts even more. It's hard to explain how much it hurts to read this, you form a connection with the characters  then lose them all in the 410 pages of this book. I really love this book.

 I really don't know what to think of this book. There were parts I liked and a lot of things that gave me the biggest ick. For once, this book didn't feel like it had a planned out plot at all. I was constantly guessing what timeline the chapter I was reading was playing in and what the purpose of the scene was. Some scenes just didn't have any impact on the story at all and even though they were nice to read by themselves I think they could have been deleted. I was also really disturbed by the constant romantic descriptions of mental illness. In general the writing style often seemed immature and wanna be poetic, aiming for every quote to be quotable. The scentences on their own were great. Together as a story, yet a whole novel? It didn't work. 
I did like the characters and the overall message of the book and it definitly made me feel something, but there were just so many things that I feel like needed more editing and time.
