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.
